..the entire sp555 manual. And I don't even own one yet.

How sad is that?

I need money.

I feel you on that homie ... I'm reading through a ~400 page manual of the MV-8800 right now... same problem though, don't have the machine yet.

Damn, they should release these things for free :p , but I guess all good things come at a price.

I did the same thing...thankfully I had the money but I was just waiting impatiently for it to hit stores

I did the same thing wit the MV-8000. I was 16 when i owned it & never knew how to use the damn thing. How really sad is that. I've owned alot of Roland products back a few years ago. I switched to digital because it's easier for me, then when i got the idea down it's much easier goin back to hardware. SP-555 here i come!!!!
