The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I just bought my an1x a couple of weeks ago as a main controller and 
synth
and so far I love it - they keys feel great - the step seq. and wide 
array of arp. patterns are awesome 
and it sounds great too
I bought it because of it's ridiculously cheap price ($300!) for 
what it does its worth way more I would pay $300 for it to be a 
controller alone
I also bought it because one of my favorite bands uses it(the faint)
and I love the sounds they get out of it 
other synths in my arsenal include:novation k station alesis ion 
korg ms2000R(soon to be trade for a microkorg) and countless soft 
synths(moog modular V mini moog V korg legacy and a ton more)
I have owned a few other synths that I have (stupidly) sold off to 
buy other synths they are: roland sh-101(RED!) roland juno 106 korg 
polysix nord lead 2 microkorg and a moog prodigy
  
but
anyways I have been reading the an1x manual and for some reason can 
not retain a thing from it-the layout is crazy  it looks like the 
instructions for a kids toy or something

maybe it's just me - but usually I read synth manuals from front to 
back (several times) 
but this one I have not been able to read though once!

is there any other getting started guide programming tips or 
something online?

has anyone else had this problem - or am I just crazy?
