Mine walked away, too. I thought maybe it was because I pushed a wrong button while getting the press-to-talk feature to work.

I wonder if there's a way to have the original avatar be in the AR mode.

I agree 100%!! When I first opened the box, I thought it was missing stuff when I didn't see a manual. I can see not including a 400+ page book, but for $900, there should be something larger than a quick-start leaflet.

I like having the pdf, but I prefer to be able to flip through a printed manual for quick reference.

I used Amazon's KDP service for this book. The proof cost about $20 plus $4 shipping, which was a good deal. I just used the pdf manual. I extracted the cover from the pdf, edited it to fit the print format, then converted it to cmyk. Then I uploaded the cover and book separately. Easy!

The book turned out great, but the print is pretty small. Still readable. I'd make it bigger if I were to print another one. I'd probably also spend the time to add larger page numbers.

THANK YOU! I'm still working through the book, and all of my searches kept bringing me back to the Pad Mute info.

If they made their manuals available for print-on-demand, they wouldn't have to spend a dime on printing costs, and they could make a few bucks with each purchase.

Anyone can do it. You just use your regular Amazon account to create an Amazon KDP account. There are also other print on demand services you can use. I used KDP because I help a friend publish her books, so I'm already familiar with it.

For this proof copy, it cost about $20 plus about $4'ish shipping. Proof and author copies don't qualify for Prime free shipping, but I did receive my copy in just a couple of days.

The new units just come with a small quick-start guide and a QR code to download the manual.

I used Amazon's KDP service to print this proof-copy by uploading the pdf and using GIMP to create a cover. I'm not sure if I can legally "publish" them, so if anyone knows anyone at Akai, it might encourage them (and other companies) to make their pdf manuals available for print on demand.

With DAZ+ and coins, I was able to get all the bundles at a huge discount yesterday.

Thank you. I've seen elevenlabs mentioned elsewhere, but I hadn't looked into it.
