Yes, Staples will print one off for you too. With a lovely cover over the ringed printout.
I did that for my Motif XF8 manual, that was shipped on a disc.

Just give them the drones PDF manual on a USB thumb drive.

I like to read the paper manual as well. Thanks for sharing!

Any way and any medium that helps get folks to read their manual is a win

Nothing beats paper manuals ;)

Oh wait, you have to carry them around

Motif XF8 a keyboard are you saying? Am I right? I play keyboard too.

Yes, a Yamaha Motif XF8, & it's a dream come true, to own and play such a magnificent "instrument".


My pleasure to be able to say this, but I went out of my way to purchase and own this masterpiece of digital keyboard technology.  
We make beautiful music together. Haha
And she is one of my main reasons for not ever doing any hand catching of my RC drones.
Here's a drone selfie..


Not of myself, but some other unfortunate.

Not a very good "catcher"!

I'm old school and need a paper copy!

I like the SP 88X it's a nice stage piano, The Sp4-8 succeeded that one... Kurzweil himself is a genius.
Never played any Roland equipment, but it certainly has a popular professional following.
The nice thing about the Juno Di, it can also run on batteries, very portable, for the traveling musician.

One drawback, if there are any, about the Motif XF8 is the full sized piano keybed. The unit weighs 37kg.
Big and heavy, not very portable at all. You can't toss it under an arm and trek around with it. But so fully packed. Production workstation, & All those synths and various instruments at a fingers touch. It's great that Yamaha music build and sell so many different respected instruments. They are all available, to sample, for those authentic keyboard sounds.

Accidents happen, and he's lucky to have not lost vision in that right eye.

For some, hand catching is a must, for me, it's a very last option. Or Not even an option.
Those blades are spinning so fast, you can't blink fast enough.

Thanks, I'll check it out. You must travel a lot with your gear?

Mine is primarily for home use. I also have the Yamaha DTX-MULTI 12 Electronic Percussion Pad. MIDI patched to the Motif.

I don't travel too much. I just play at the church by the way. It's just for hobby. I'm trying to enter in VST world, maybe buying an audio interface. I'm using Ableton Live and Kontakt for begginning.
