This is the catologue of sound F/X and their location on the F/X console. I recieved two of these "lists" when I purchased mine. THe WW II sound effects are really interesting and include sounds of a V2 rocket explosion recorded during the war.
  Also one of the F/X sounds are the starting of a car. You depress the next key and the car shifts into first gear-press the next key and the car shifts into second gear.  The following key is the car shifting into high Gear and then cruising.
