Tutorial on Nord Stage Synth Section?

I guess I know the answer to this but I wanted to give it a shot. Just got my Nord Stage EX Compact a few days ago. I'm a complete noob on synths. Used a few presets in the past but never used anything that looked or felt like a real synth.

I've pored over every page in the manual -- I see what the knobs do. I've read some tutorials on the Internet about subtractive synthesis, etc. I get the physics about harmonics and VCOs, etc. (electrical/software engineer in previous life). What I'm trying to find is some sort of tutorial that gives a structured walk through the various features on the Nord Stage so that I can better associate sounds and wave forms and how to generate them on the Stage.

I realize I'm probably just being greedy/lazy -- probably have to just invest a lot of hunt and peck time. Just wanted to see if I could do better.

By the way, also clueless on organs -- drawbars....Voxes versus Bees versus Farfisas, etc. But for that one, I think can see how to get there from here. Easier to play...hear something and figure out how to mimic thru trial and error.

thanx, V

I'm kinda in the same boat, I got a Prophet 08 a few days ago, and have no idea how to use it, the manual is pretty brief and doesnt really help you learn the features, so I've just been fiddling with all the parameters and learning about it all slowly.

Im trying to figure out the sequencer, but you have to assign one bit to control another bit which runs through this bit and that bit, and thats only one layer, crazy times!

Just start turning some knobs!

I got a stage ex compact a month ago. I am just turning knobs to see what the labels. mean What I have been doing is starting with existing programs, and tweaking them to see what the differences are.
