yeah the 5000fx is pretty sweet, the scratching wheel/function is pretty nuts but is very hard to control unless you use the wet/dry fader just like a cross-fader.
it has some pretty crazy functions that i have looked at briefly like the 2 bpm counters but to be honest i found that it made things more complicated than beatmatching the normal way. you are constantly watching the counters and they are not responsive enough to work well.
i have been playing around with the smart loop function which is alot of fun and also that you can just work the effects into the sample instead of the main track. also makes for some interesting phasing and other cool tricks, although i am still mastering them.
completely agree that the instruction manual needs to be more comprehensive but i suppose half the fun is discovering stuff yourself.
