Anybody out there familiar with the Yamaha RS7000?     I've been
slogging through the manual (three hundred seventy-something pages!)
and I've looked at some tutorials online but I still can't get it to
do a few basic things that I need it to do.     If you know how to run
this thing (basically loading in samples and looping them and
assigning them to buttons in a way that I can use this thing on stage)
and you wouldn't mind giving me some tips via email, or even better,
walking me through some things over the phone, I would really, really
appreciate it, you'd be doing me a super big favor.
