Gary,
Yep...I agree...just like I said in my post...RTFM.

I for one don't find it boring...I find it enlightening.

Over at the Korg forum, we get questions all the time that are pretty basic and in the manual...seems very few read the manuals?

I guess most just turn it on and start playing, trying things and that's fine but you do miss out on a lot of good info that way.

Before I buy a new board...I download all the manuals and study them...I then know what that board will and wil not do! I even print out some of it to take to the audition at the store...(they usually don't want you using (opening up)the maunaul that comes with the instrument)
