Will we get a nice thick copy with the Kronos or is it going to be on a .PDF file on a disc? Very Happy

I love Korg manuals! Can't wait for this one.

So cool to know that Dan is the guy. Dan, I love your manuals, even if they are not in my mother language. I think I can say your manuals helped me understand english better (not that I am good at it, lol). Congratulations, I am your fan.

Because of the Kronos announcement I started to look at the OASYS manuals to get a better idea of the details. They are good manuals of course. So I hope you don't mind if I make a minor suggestion. Not about the content, but the format. Sometimes I had a bit of trouble navigating the columns. The pages are split into two vertical columns. Sometimes you're meant to read the left column all the way to the bottom of the page and sometimes times not. I suppose it might seem clear if a page is divided by a full-width horizontal line, like the start of a new section, then you read both columns above the line then both columns below it. Examples are pg 80, 86, 95 in the parameter guide. But a page like 52 is divided only by the picture and is not so clear which way section 2-1d continues. (I mean of course you eventually figure it out, it just slows you down.)

I had always thought that a nice manual was Steinberg Cubase so I opened that up to see what they do. While they also split the page into two columns, a new section never breaks a page. It's always within a column, or starts a new page. So you always read the left column all the way to the bottom first. Pictures are almost always within a column width. For the few pictures that are full page wide, the text on the page is either all above or all below the picture.

Sorry if this is nitpicking. Just a minor thing I noticed. I don't have OCD. Honest.
