 I agree, Chris!  Also, I think the owner's manual is a 
little "flat"- not really emphasising the options and versatilities 
of these modules/kits. Yamaha doesn't seem to want to challenge our 
creativity in creating sounds, yet the potential IS there. It's 
probably more my inexperience, but it seems a little non-user 
friendly.
