This manual is taken from XP-80 Video Owner's Manual. Copyright © 1998, Roland Corporation. I had nothing to do with the production of the video and nothing to do with Roland (nor does Roland have anything to do with me).
These streams and files are provided under "fair use" laws in the United States (like a library loans out books free of charge to read).
NOTE: The following files are in QuickTime 6 format. You must have QuickTime 6.0 or later installed on your computer in order to view these files.
Choose a section of the XP-80 Video Owner's Manual to download. I will have streaming links soon. Streams will require a 384 kbps DSL connection or faster to view. Downloads have no bandwidth requirements, but I strongly recommend you have a high speed connection to download the files as they are large.
