Yamaha manuals from that time are famous. I don't 
know what the situation is at this moment, but 
then it seemed they were translated by someone 
who normally does cook books only . I'll never 
forget how modulation of the operators in the 
DX-7 was described... it said you had to tickle 
them. :-)

Still most of the major manufacturers don't like 
their "industrial secrets" revealed, even for 
equipment that is considered obsolete.  Of course 
there is a very good reason for it. They call it 
"company policy".
