Hi! A rather useful little introduction to the jv1010 used to be available for free download at the Roland US site. I am not sure if it's still there, though... However, do ask specific questions at this forum and at the forum for jv/xp synths at http://www.synthworld.com When I got my jv1010 half a year ago I was completely lost. Now I've got it hooked up and working perfectly, SoundDiver and all. All the best, Magnus
