well ok, fuck, shit, thats an interesting question, you see, this is from an age when analog was decidedly deemed "out" and hundreds and hundreds of menus and sub menus was the order of the day. and no mistake neither, it was exactuly how it was supposed to be. however, in retrospect, i think this was considered to be a mistake. no matter this is what we have to deal with, and to tell you the truth, as soon as you figure out the logic of it all, its like a mixing console, looks inimidating and madly complex at first, but really, the structure tons of the same, but with different results. so once you know a thing, like all the things that a sampler does (envs, effects. filters, loops annnnd... i know im missing someting, but basically all the things the fruity sampler does, but on fucking steroids and times 3000) you can pretty much get around with that and reap all the benefits of this glorious machine,
