maybe your problem is not with Kim who wrote the manual but with me 
who created most of the content. I prefered it to be intuitive rather 
than logic. this was an amazing experience.
maybe the funcionality fits less to your focussed music, but you will 
find enough...
Daniel Erni http://danielerni.ch did some amazing compositions with 
classical guitar.

lumping also meet strong parts of the experience. Instant (soul/mood)
