Overview (05:14) - Take a brief tour of the overall GUI, and learn about the main functions on each of the interface's pages.
Exploring the Main Page (04:11) - Discover how intuitive and fun it is to modify the existing presets by changing the individual layer sound sources and playback parameters.
Working with the Presets (04:23) - Learn where the presets are stored on your hard drive, how to filter the list based on tags, create a set of favorites, rescan the contents on your hard drive, and how to load presets with or without FX, Rhythm, or Arpeggiator settings.
Working with Envelopes (07:04) - Discover how the per layer Amp and Pitch Envelope controls work, how to change the sample timbre, create a natural sounding vibrato, and a cool, monophonic glide effect.
Global & Layer FX (05:31) - Hear the Global FX in action as they are applied to an initialized dual layer patch, and the Layer Based FX as they are used to modify one of the existing presets.
LFO Based Rhythmic Modulation (07:21) - Learn how each layer's two rhythm generators are used and combined to generate complex rhythmic patterns by using various LFO shapes simultaneously, at different speeds.
Step Sequencer Rhythm Generators (07:54) - Explore the built-in four step sequencers, and discover how to modify existing patterns, as well as create and save your own.
Flux Modulation (04:42) - Explore this step based Modulation Generator that determines the modulation rate of all rhythm generators. Each step of the flux rate sequencer has a rate parameter, allowing for the development of complex rhythmic patterns. This may sound complex, but Eli makes it simple!
