tutorial. </p></div></div></blockquote><div>Yes, both the Blackbox and the Deluge have heavy learning curves, they are truly dense instruments. I’ve gotten a lot from LOOPOP on Youtube, he powers through things but tapes a path, nevertheless, that can be followed in a 30-minute session or so.</div><div><br class=""></div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><p class="">I randomly picked the "Forbbiden Zone Kit" in the
presets and started playing with pad 1,3 "PIC_100_Cm_S" and my
brain suddenly realized "dude... this will let you glitch the h***
out of these samples like you always wanted to do. This opens up
some sonic palettes that I didn't realize I had near my fingers.
<br class=""></p></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div><div>Oh yes, part of the challenge of these new toys is discovering those dark frontiers, and bringing light into them. I’m having a lot of fun with the update, too .. ;). Already crashed it a few times though, so I do confess that this week at least, the Deluge got more love.</div><div><br class=""></div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><p class="">And here I was treating this more like a simple FastTracker II
sequencer... (O_o) <br class=""></p></div></div></blockquote><div>That, it can appear to be - but indeed it is not a tracker. Its a really, really good sampler! The sequencer grid might be a bit of a dilemma, though, it does look very Tracker-like .. just keep in mind you can re-sample sequences-triggering-samples, and THOSE can be messed with like normal samples, too. Its just an infinity machine, man.</div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><p class="">
</p><p class="">Is there any particular Blackbox tutorials you'd recommend?
Yeah, I'll be googling but something tells me there's a lot under
the hood here that I'm missing. <br class="">

</div></div></blockquote>LOOPOP and Red Means Recording have been the most inspiring to me personally, but there are others that I have no doubt Youtube will start recommending you once you get through a few of those channels’ offerings.</div><div><br class=""></div><div><br class=""></div><br class=""><div class="">
