Analogaddict Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Manuals seem to be pretty full of unclear instructions, I read that the Triton manual states that you should "save all saved data", then there´s the Roland quote from Jeebus´ signature "If be not work turn off", or something like that. There must be more out there! How about it? Got any to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP3 Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Old Korg sequencer manual circa 1987 - "Insert disk verily quedgewise.""Maming proceedure." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisheye Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Not an error, but still stupid: the manual of Roland's KC300 keyboard amp warned about not placing it on your feet, since it's heavy. And: "do not drop it!". "you may prefer to use headphones" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bryce Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Still my fave: The first Yamaha CP-80- manual had a part describing how the legs were supposed to screw into the base...except instead of using the word "screw", they used the word "fuck". Too funny... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bryce Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Also, IIRC, the Roland TR-909 manual contained the phrase "prease to elase" when I believe what they wanted to say "please erase". dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't caught any typos in my Fantom-S manual yet because I don't even need to read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They caught it pretty quick, as you can imagine. Not quick enough, though... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Analogaddict Posted November 25, 2004 Author Share Posted November 25, 2004 Yeah, that makes sense! I just had to check - unfortunately I´m not one of the fortunate ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marino Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Originally posted by Dave Bryce: instead of using the word "screw", they used the word "fuck". Ha ha ha!! Unbelievable... Now, take one of those manual in Japanglish, and imagine trying to make an Italian translation starting from *that*!! Here's what Italian musicians had to deal with back in the times. Whole sections of those manuals just didn't make *any* sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
