As usual the manual is also available as a document on github in case you are bored and feel the need to improve it Cool

Hi! I'm not sure how to update the manual via Github but wanted to say I think I found a bad example in the description for XMAP on page 38.

In the description, it recommends using the command SKIP 1 < =0=0 to always skip the next line. But actually, since 0 is never less than 0 the result would be FALSE, so it would not skip the next line.

I recommend maybe changing it to SKIP 1 = =0=0, so the constant is always TRUE

Below is how it's written currently in the manual.
• XMAP → Execute a Mapping row from the → Mapping Screen. The selected
Mapping row will be executed once. This can be used to set a variable or to start an algorithm from the mappings. You can avoid that the row won’t be executed from the mappings itself by adding a SKIP 1 < =0=0 command in the mapping row before which takes care that the next row will never executed ( SKIP 1 ROW if the constant 0 (=0) is smaller (<) than constant 0 (=0)). Since 0 is never smaller than 0 the next row will always be skipped and thus never been executed from the mappings itself. It can be executed using XMAP though. This could also allow to create a sequence only by XMAP rows which are going to be executed by the sequencer. Please check the → Mapping Screen for more information. Be aware that the selected row will be completely executed, regardless if the source changed or not.

Will change that in the manual, thanks.
