Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Honestly, I don't think that Emu needs to include section on hwo to write 
music, there's tons of articles on that online if you're looking for it. 
The stuff I had in mind, is consolidating the sections of the manual.  Say 
preset editing, it's actually in a couple different spots, when it really 
should all be one.  They should break it up into the following chapters:

1. Intro/Connections
2. General/Global options
3. Pattern Sequencing
4. Song Sequencing
5. Presets
6. Midi
7. Controllers
8. Misc

Each chapter should have two parts, first a beginners section describing 
what all basics are, and maybe giving a few real life examples.  The 
second section would be an indepth explaination of each menu option, 
focusing more on experienced users and circumstances.  Nothing against 
people just starting out, but once you start knowing this stuff, it sucks 
wading through pages and pages of manual on "what is synthesis", when you 
only want to find a quick answer to a preset menu question.

Say that again, mate! - They should stop overexplaining things and give 
more step by step working examples like How to set up an arrangement, How 
to record a song efficiently (this should work even if everybody has its 
own ideas going about writing songs etc.) They follow the chain of menues 
rather than tying things together that make sense most. And they hide by 
that what the XX-7 is able to do. The content (phrases, words) itself 
seems to be written nicely as long as I can judge as a 
non-mothertongue...Downloads should be a good idea for updating the 
Manual!
