This place is amazing. Got our manual in a few hours. Print quality is excellent. Even the manufacturer didn't have this manual. The price was excellent. How many more stars can I give them? More than satisfied.
I'm so glad I was able to find a site to download my missing manuals. Very reasonable prices and they kept me informed about the process and I had my manual within less than a day. The only thing I wish was an option is a 100% English version with no spanish or anything. But overall great site.
The manual is complete with excellent quality! One suggestion, show number of pages and weather it is multi-lingual. The AD 600 Manuel is about 76 pages and over half is non English. This results in a larger print job than usually needed. Having this information, one could select the desired pages for printing.
I've been looking for a copy of the original user/owner manual. Just what the doctor ordered, thank you.

Using the Rhythm Guide
Creating patterns
New patterns are created by simply changing the settings of the pattern that is currently selected. A total of 999 measures worth of patterns can be created. After changing the settings, the new pattern can then be saved as a user pattern or song pattern. When editing a preset pattern in order to create a new pattern (p. 63), you can have the rhythm pattern stop at the end of the song by clearing the step after the BREAK in which V1 (verse) is set (p. 64). 1. With playback stopped on the BR-532, press [PATTERN ARRANGE]. The Step Entry screen appears.
