Why are Arranger Keyboard Manuals So Poor For Advanced Edits
#1
Last night I wanted to look in the Pa5x Manual with reference to using the guitar amp effects.

Whilst I am gaining more experience certain parameters are not clear.

In a normal amp there is a gain knob, not listed on the parameters.

I get that the Volume is the overall output volume.

It’s whilst reading the manual there is nothing that explains the parameters

It’s sad that reference manuals are not available for more advanced deep editing subjects.

99% of manuals are bad and written by the wrong department.

A company demonstrator may possibly the best person to write a manual because they know how to make any adjustments required.

When we attended twice yearly Keyboard festivals UK. 
I obtained answers to my questions within minutes from the demonstrator playing the keys.

⚅Graham is right.

When I've needed help with advanced edits, I've never found this in any manual.
Only people like ⚅Robinez and ⚅Aripearlmusic can help us with this.
