Gary is 100% right! Most user manuals are "very" poorly written. Although Roland is my favorite keyboard maker--their manuals just suck!

Hands on is the best way IMO. Just use the manual when you get completely stumped on something.

Also the quesiton you raised about turning off the internal speakers. The solution given with the "headphone adapter" plugged into the jack is clearly the way to go, but you won't learn this from the manuals. Tricks like that are what we have found out on our own and shared with members here. I honestly don't think I've ever owned a keyboard that told me in the manual to plug a headphone adapter into the jack to cut off the speakers.

Hey squeak_D

thanks for the encouragement. Yeah, the hands-on approach works for me. I'm figuring it out. The only thing that puzzles me is how the different elements (style,song,UPG all inter-relate in terms of "packaging" them. I'll figure it out eventually. The manual doesn't present the heirachy in a very clear way. thanks for the suggestions though!

Brian
