Re: i have a big question
Just speaking about Nord manuals in general, it is impossible to give a number of how many things are NOT in a manual. For one thing, an explanation which may be sufficient for one person may be insufficient for someone else. Nord's manuals could use some more fleshing out in places. Sometimes what's in the manual gives you a rough idea, but you don't fully understand what will happen until you try it, as the explanations can be a little vague, or could benefit from more examples. And they could use better translations (there are things that are unclear at least in part because the writer was not a native English speaker). And when a new update comes out, the change may get a single line in the change notes, but no further explanation unless there is a revised manual. OTOH, Nord manuals are concise enough that you can actually read the entire things and quickly understand most of what's going on. Unlike some other companies' manuals of hundreds of pages, which actually are often quite poor despite their depth. Not because they leave things out, but largely for two reasons: again, poor english translation (worse than Nord), or because they focus pretty much exclusively on what each setting does, and not enough on how to actually do things you'd probably want to do. Bottom line, Nord's manuals aren't perfect, but are still better than a lot of manuals from other companies.

Re: i have a big question
One thing that is different in Nord manuals from many other manufacturers is that for many other music gear you can easily get by the first week without looking in the manual, but for Nord there are things you really need to know day one or at least week one that you only find out by reading the manual. For example you won't be able to save tweaked sounds unless you've studied the manual...
Highly recommended to read it through A-Z as if there was a test afterwards, and then using it for guidance now and then during the first time.
99% of the questions you'll come up with will be stated somewhere in the manual.

Re: i have a big question
Even more highly recommend that when reading it, one use a yellow highlighter marker to mark important points for future reference. In fact, I do this also on my computer, highlighting things in the .pdf file and storing them so that I can find them easily in future. As anotherscott suggested, some very important things may get only a single simple line and are easily overlooked when reading through casually as though it were a romance novel. Nord manuals should be read like physics textbooks; every line has meaning -- they're not just wasting space on the page.
