Agree. There are parts that could be better in the manual. Although I think that´s true for every manual ever in existence… not talking about Elektron manuals only, but in general:
I have had an rack effect processor (my first one) since the early/mid 90´s, where I was disappointed to find in the manual back then, when learning the unit, that the modifier curve were only possible to set as min-max but not inversed as max-min. I´ve since looked many times in that manual, but normally to just read about parameters in the different effects. The page with the modifier curve function/explanation were most probably never read again but just memorized.
Then some months ago I happened to have one manual in front of me, and looked thru it just for a nostalgic trip. Realizing instantly when getting to the modifier page, seeing that graphic representation of the modifier curve AND reading the text, that it in fact could be inversed! And have always been possible. But the text were vague in just that description and the image showed only the normal operation (min-max) but not the other. Being a young guy with his first rack effect processor. And not many, if any, others around dealing with same kind of gear. So there were basically no one else to ask about anything. Well, it surely didn´t help me in understanding the manual correctly = close to 20 years of ignorance.
Scene changes only updating row 0 sounds odd. Do I understand you correctly in that if ie having 5 rows in the arranger, and say that you are playing row 4 and in there are switching the scenes. It won´t affect row 4 or any else, but just row 0?
