Unfortunately it's true, Zuki. I know some learn by pressing buttons, messing about in general, etc., and that's fine, but even reading through a quick start guide for the first forty pages or so has its benefits.
Nobody is expected to wade through the thousand or so pages of a Korg manual, though there's always the masochists :), but you can find questions on any forum that you just know can be answered by spending a bit of time reading.
Agree! When I mapped my 3X to the 1000, I read quite a bit of manual to do so. In fact, I'm reading a 4X manual and I don't have the keyboard yet
