All good. But what many of us need are basic tutorials. like
* how do you get a rotary organ sound, fast and slow leslie?
* how to set a drum beat going in background, while leaving the whole keyboard free for play
* How can you skip quickly to a different voice or sound?
* Step by step setting up then performing looping

The book describes each function, but does not address "task" instruction. Like just knowing what a button does, won't help you accomplish a task.

Leslie slow/fast is in settings of tone, you can use a sustain pedal to switch between them.
You can't do your own drumbeat, the song mode you could but that does not loop well. Only playing styles (pre-programmed drums) can do this.
You have 5 favorites button is quickest way to switch through categories of tones.
Hope the above gives you some pointers.
