Useful I hope for those new to the A4 and/or new to synthesis.

Thanks for this, really informative!
Thank you! This is great.
I humbly request you to do a video on song and chain mode.
Please keep it up!
Really interesting approach working backwards & reaching for the OSC last! 
@bluewolfse7en. It works well if you have a particular ‘job’ for the sound to do in a song e.g. bass or pad. This will dictate the envelope more than any other aspect.
But it still happens that once I pick a filter/oscillator setting, it becomes something else completely, with a radically different envelope. Then I have to save that and come back to the matter in hand and find that functional sound 
@doedshammeren
For song mode I always point people to Cuckoo’s sequencer tutorial. It’s a long vid, so jump to 51.20.
@seen from space: Good Tutorial for beginners, very well explained and on the spot, not too dry matter. Many other tutorials in general, I hear the people talking too much theory and jump around in the topics, this does not. Good job!
One thing though, at 1min40sec you tell the people about the signal path, that the sound goes through the filter and then through the amp and envelope generator. This is not correct. It goes through the amp right into your ear. The envelope generator is not sound shaping itself, it is just a controller for the amp. Its curve controls how the volume of a sound is perceived in time. Just wanted to make that clear, because it helps to understand what happens with the other envelope and the cutoff frequency. Same principle here, the envelope quickly turns the knob for you each time the sound is played.
Here’s hoping the Ryrm’s repeat function finds its way into the A4 one day so we can do Berlin School ratcheting in the box. In the meantime you can trigger the A4 engine from a sequencer such as the Faderfox SC4 should you need that effect. 
Perfectly true! Thanks for pointing that out.
Great tutorial! I hope there’s more to come in the near future
Extremely well explained tutorial as always. Thanks -SEEN FROM SPACE
As a newbie A4 user i love your tut’s.
I really like to see more off these video’s.
maybe a little variation in different sort of sounds creating (bass, pads, leads, dubchords).
Keep up the good work!!!
I’ve found I also often go backwards (starting with the envelopes) too.
Especially when working with old analogues with no patch/preset storage (e.g. SH101).
I’ll normally start with a randomly selected oscillator type and then go back and change it later.
