When I first got mine and asked myself that question, that's what i ended up with, this info, lol. I am still learning though. NOTHING like my 2kxl so my head was phucked up for a good long while mixed with long periods of not being in my lab I had to relearn the 4k several times.

At least you have the ability to decode manuals.

Off-topic: You've probably come across it already but, see when you got a sequence going on SEQ EDIT? As the SEQ is playing go to SAMPLE, and scroll down all your loaded sounds. It plays them each as if in arpeggiator mode 8) hear what you like? Rec it, flip it and bam! Go you an original track or two. Pretty handy when creativity is lagging.
