Hello,
I’ve been perusing the forum for awhile, it’s an incredible resource. I’d like to express my gratitude to everyone here for making it such a welcoming and informative place to visit.
I just picked up an OTMkII after having my Digitone for about 6 months. I’m glad I got the DN first, it’s a great introduction to the Elektron workflow. I assume the DT would provide a similar introduction. I suggest anyone new to Elektron take a similar path as it made learning the OT a breeze (so far). If I’d done the reverse I’d surely have been lost.
I’ve read plenty of complaints about Elektron manuals, especially the OT. I’ve found that the best option is to have it as a PDF on my iPad to facilitate jumping back and forth between all of the cross references. Most of what you need to know is in there, and if you don’t find it, some judicious searching of this forum will likely get you your answer.
I find the OT manual especially interesting. It’s damn near as puzzling and arcane as the OT itself. The pair are a puzzle that require each other to be solved. While it’s at times frustrating, I know the answer is there. This forum serves as an occasional lifeline…
Anyway, thanks again to the community here, you’re appreciated.
Cheers!
