Greetings, I'm new here

Welcome aboard!

A few random tips:

  1. Don’t buy another thing till you are really comfortable with Elektron workflow
  2. Actually, I would start with AR only, it’s easier to get used to the sequencer, switching from Grid Mode to Live Mode.
  3. In Live Mode, learn to turn knobs to introduce variations and sculpt your loops (you’ll be doing parameter locks aka plocks this way)
  4. In grid mode, hold a trig and tweak the values (plocks again)
  5. I save all my favorite patches (Sounds in Elektron speech) in Bank P so that I can load the whole Bank in the sound pool, rendering such sounds available for sound locks (hold trig, turn level knob)
  6. You have to understand precisely the relationship between Patterns and Kits. There are Tabula Rasa projects somewhere to start with a 1/1 relationship between Kits and Patterns (links bellow)
  7. Take the time to understand how things are saved. A Sound in a Bank is indépendant from any project btw.
  8. In a default project, when improvising, my most used move is: save current Kit, copy pattern, hold change pattern and paste, jump to new pattern, save Kit as new.
