On this point, I think I disagree. The "instrument" demos will certainly be helpful to salesman trying to demonstrate the instrument, but, as a new user, I also found it enlightening to hear the demos of the various instruments -- many of which I have never seen or heard before. The demos not only displayed the sound of the instrument, but also put that sound in a context where that instrument was appropriate. That helps users understand on what kind of music or songs that instrument might go well. Over time, I'll see if the novelty of this wears off. That is why I started this with "I think I disagree."

I do question the usefulness of the "tutorial" built into the machine. It may be useful in selling, but do owners need this all the time? Why couldn't the tutorial functions be provided on a floppy to be used when the machine is new or when needed. I would have prefered that memory space be used for storing more "user" styles or registrations.
