Hi Bryan, I will send You something abot the XF in a few days. It will be some helpful thinks about creating a Song and Pattern etc. And some things about the samplefunction in song-mode.. And I will send an e-mail to the writer of the "Commanding the Motif", because he wrote two very good books. He wrote a lot of times in his books how often to press buttons. But it's not enough. I will tell him, to do that in next upgrade more. He does a great job and the books can be read better as the reference of Yamaha. Rainer
