i Using This Manual...
This owner’s manual is for use with all models in the Sound
Expansion Series. It covers virtually all the available functions,
and explains how to use them. However, each model in the
Sound Expansion Series also provictes its own unique features,
designed to deliver a great deal more expressiveness and realism
within the musical realism that the model is specialized for.
Since each model also has its own individual owner’s manual,
please refer to that manual as well.
