M8 Guide & Reference

A collection of printable, high-density reference guides for the Dirtywave M8 Tracker (Firmware 6.5+). This project is based on the original M8Guide by Laurent Vitalis — many design elements and the SVG button template used to generate the icons were adapted from that work. Thanks to Laurent for the excellent starting point: LaurentVitalis / M8Guide.

📄 Included Guides

1. M8 Shortcuts Guide (shortcuts.html)

A single-page guide containing navigation, common actions, and context-sensitive shortcuts.

  • Design: Optimized for US Letter or A4 paper.

2. M8 EFX & Synthesis Reference (efx.html)

A single-page landscape reference for EFX commands, FM algorithms, Wavsynth parameters, and Table modes.

  • Design: Features a vertical sidebar and flex-aligned columns for a professional reference card look.
  • Alignment: Sections are vertically justified so that top and bottom borders line up perfectly across the page.

🖨️ Printing Instructions

To ensure the layout fills the page correctly and borders line up, use these settings in your browser's Print dialog:

  1. Destination: Save as PDF or Select Printer.
  2. Layout: Landscape.
  3. Margins: None (or "Minimum"). The CSS provides its own safe margins.
  4. Scale: 100% (do not use "Fit to Page").
  5. Background Graphics: ON (Required for icons and header colors).
  6. Headers and Footers: OFF.

🛠️ Customization & Technical Details

Shortcuts System

Shortcuts are stored as a JS array in data.js and rendered via script.js. This makes it easy to update descriptions or reorder sections without touching complex HTML.

Button Icon Syntax

Button icons use a single SVG template customized via CSS classes. For example, to illustrate hold SHIFT + OPTION then double-tap EDIT, use: `"command": "shifthold option1st edit2nd double"
