So there is a short tutorial video on the official Casio YouTube page.  At the beginning of the video, the guy shows how to program a beat using steps, and then how to do it live.  But when I do what he does the only result I get is a demo playing when I hit the play button.

I have been able to figure some more advanced stuff out like changing sounds on a pad but I can't get anywhere with the most basic function of making my own beats.  Both the printed manual and the pdf manual seem to breeze over the basics.  

Yeah, I already downloaded that pdf.  Still seems like some basics are missing.  Guess I have to go buy whatever kind of usb cord wasn't included with the unit so I can hook it up to a computer.

I picked this up yesterday and the manual doesn't seem to be all that helpful.  I can't seem to find much as far as tutorial videos either.  How do I make a beat? Can I edit a sample I import?  I really don't have much experience with this type of gear but is it just me or could they have done a much better job with the manual?  It seems like it jumps over a lot of core basic stuff.
