Super helpful. Thank you SO MUCH for making this!

I like this tutorial, thanks. First time really having some fun with this thing and getting how powerful it can be.

[@villaribabambule]

So psyched that someone is doing this! I'd love to hear about ways to make your own fill patterns, ways to access a triplet grid with or without track length, project organization for live performance, prepping sample libraries for the play, and some analysis of the different effects that explains what "stringston" is doing for instance. The biggest thing though would be to demystify some of the units the display uses. Itd be great to see exactly how much is a micromove at -11. Where does that put something on a grid? Or a microtuning of +100. Is that a full semitone sharper at that point? The more I write this comment the more I want to add to it in hopes that you'll put some of these answers in a future video. Feel free to message me if you want more questions! I'm 4 months in with this thing and I have many.

Cheers Adam, I have a video already about making fill patterns and sample packs, feel these were needed before this series. And i will definitely try to add these through the series where I can. This is the good stuff

[@adamcrawford6060]

@@Aisjam Keep up the great work! Time to dive into your earlier stuff!

[@garyhendrie4001]

This is coming ag just the right time for me. Just received a play plus and dont know where to start really. Got a more traditional background but decided to try domething a little diffrent.

[@Aisjam]

Glad to hear. I am going to keep this simplified talking play techniques, however I do point out where a little music theory really pushes this machine to the next level.

New with a Play+ and prior to that I've watched loads of tutorials. Your approach is great...well explained and not running away with it. I will watch your series on this many times over and let it soak in...also nabbed a used mint Polyend Tracker for $375 US with the latest firmware. Looking to clock pair these two together somehow...

[@Aisjam]

That is a good deal! I really feel the Tracker is an unsung hero in the synth groups. The Play and Play+ is a different beast and hope you get a lot out of this series.
