ERRATUM§19 swaps [KEYBOARD C#1] and [KEYBOARD D#1]

§19 KEY COMBINATIONS prints “[FUNC] + [KEYBOARD C#] to temporarily memorize (save) the active pattern” and “[FUNC] + [KEYBOARD D#] to recall (reload)”. §3.1 FRONT PANEL states the opposite — [KEYBOARD C#1] recalls the previously memorized state and [KEYBOARD D#1] memorizes it — and matches the panel print, which this project treats as authoritative. Confirmation on hardware is still open.

ERRATUMNote preview: GRID RECORDING or STEP EDIT?

§19 prints “[KEYBOARD] + [YES] when in GRID RECORDING mode) to preview a specific note”, while §10.3 documents the same combination as “When in STEP EDIT”. The two are reconcilable — §10.3.1 states STEP EDIT is part of GRID RECORDING mode — so the preview-note procedure records both readings instead of picking one.

Documented error in the printed manual. This project records contradictions instead of hiding them — the note stays in English, as all source-quoting content does.
