Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

I've looked over the manual, over and over, but I just don't get it. 
I mean, i'm sure it's really not that complicated, but I could still 
use some help. My intentions are not to waste your time or mine, but 
it's just not clicking with me. Maybe if someone out there could give 
me a quick tutorial on the sequence, maybe how they would build a 
pattern from scratch, that would be extremely helpful. Thank you all 
for your time, in advance.
