Guidance for Xm with 3.0 firmware
19 Nov 2022, 15:05Hi all,
I've just got my hands on a new Xm, which appears as you would expect to have the latest firmware. Before purchase, I pre-read the Xm manual to get familiar with all the basic concepts (Scenes, Parts, Tones, etc.). However, now that I have the Xm in my possession I can see that, unfortunately, the Owners Manual and Roland Support videos have not been upgraded. The screen displays at the Scene level are different, and there appears to be additional bank functionality with the new OS. It's very frustrating when you are trying to learn a new device and the manual is out of date.
Can anyone recommend a resource that could serve as a decent user guide/tutorial for 3.0? I can imagine that the 3.0 upgrade may be reasonably intuitive for those who started out with the original firmware, but for a new buyer like myself it is tough to try to follow the manual when it is referencing old and/or deprecated functionality.
Thanks in advance.
