Kn,
The rppr function works cool in that once programmed, you can hit a key and it will play a sequence for you. The only thing is, I do not see it as that easy to get a good grasp on it. I like my Rack mainly for the dual arps, those are very cool and really pretty easy to program your own patterns.

The combis are fairly straight forward however there are several menus to navigate through on all the functions which I found to be characteristic of the PA as well to get things set up. Same too with the programs. several menus to do anything below the surface even a little bit.

So decent stuff, just not the most user friendly I think and I agree with you that their manuals are almost useless, except as a reference. I'm one of the people that actually reads them too, so I like them to be at least in somewhat understandable language.
