Beginners

Getting started with a Woovebox will instantly provide you with a polished sound, without needing to know much about sound design or music theory. All that can come later - or not at all. Fun comes first.

Yes, the Woovebox is deep, with lots of things to tweak. But you don't have to. Not yet. Or ever. For example, feel free to ignore all pages between the 'Seq' (sequencer) and 'Pach' (patch pages) when getting started. They're not needed to start having fun from the get-go.

Crucially though, in the Woovebox, know that you have everything at your disposal to make full tracks for years to come. You do not have to purchase anything else; it will allow you to resist Gear Acquisition Syndrome ("GAS").

The Woovebox will grow with you as your skills and knowledge develops. For you, the learning curve first centers around;

• understanding the basic terminology of beat making (such as "patterns", "tracks", "sequencing", "patches")
• understanding how a step sequencer works
• understanding how to dial up a preset, and how to program a simple pattern
• understanding the different roles different instruments and percussion play
• understanding how to create a simple 16-step pattern across multiple tracks (for example, some chords, a bass, and a kick)
• understanding how to manually build up a song in live mode by muting and unmuting different tracks
• (crucial to get to the core of the Woovebox) understanding how to automate build up of a song in Song mode using the basics of fragments
• understanding the basic components and terminology of a subtractive synthesizer (terminology like "oscillator", "filter", "ADSR", "envelope generator", "LFO", etc.)
• understanding how this terminology relates to the pages of a Woovebox track

Please note that not all these basics are necessarily the purview of the Woovebox documentation. So please be prepared to use some other resources and help (for example YouTube videos about generic production or sound design) to get you started.

And if you get stuck, please don't hesitate to hop on the Discord or Reddit to ask the friendly community for help!
