As despite having all the knobs and buttons well laid out in the hardware; the screen menu, and menu diving aspect is somehwat prohibitive.
True dat! I haven't ever used the sequencer in it yet, I just use it as a sound module, usually one patch at a time (since its only got stereo analog outs). I am always forgetting where to find shit and HOW to get to the particular menus. There was something I was searching for with the LFO last week and had to go through three or four menus before I found what I was looking for.
I printed up a big batch of the manual when I got it so I can look stuff up when I need to (keep that right next to the manual for the S3000XL haha).
Shit that reminds me, I still haven't tried sampling any of the 808 kicks yet either! Gotta grab those and throw em in the Emu and make some new 808 basses!
