What the manual covers
The booklet explains how to become familiar with the Qchord's controls by touch, then moves into practical playing guidance. It includes a touch tour, chord buttons, rhythms, tempo controls, preset voices, strumplate-only playing, MIDI, and appendices for selectable voices and rhythms.
It is especially valuable because it describes the Qchord from the player's physical point of view rather than relying on photographs or printed control labels.
