Hello David, I have seen that there has been a lot of accessibility documentation for the motif series of keyboards, and since the mox , mmx and mo series are sort of spin-offs of that series, you can sort of take that knowledge and fit it to those keyboards. I can however not find any audio tutorials, demos or textual notes about PSR series keyboards when it comes tobutton layout, menu navigation etc. Have I not looked in the right place or has nobody ever bothered to write such a thing? If the latter, and I do decide to go for the s750, I will do this.
