Awesome Sampler; Awesome video
This is a pretty sweet sampler! Really easy to use once you watch this video. I was making all sorts of cool stuff that normally take a while to create using a regular synth VST

WHERE'S THE MUSIC?
This explanation of Form was well done, covered all the important details. Except for one thing; There were no musical examples. It consisted mainly of various ways to manipulation noise! I own Form and have not found a way to apply it in a musical way, so, if attractive musical sounds are what you are looking for, I would not recommend Form.

Great !
Form was half intuitive to me but this really helped polish the edges and get into the macros a lot more. Thanks!

Another excellent creative tool from NI!
I love this instrument, and it is so easy to use! Groove3 does another fantastic job of 'getting under the hood' of this SW, and will save you hours of groping around to cut to the rewarding production work.

The best series about FORM
This is a very good series about FORM, the best one I could find. (even other payed ones are not as good as this one) What is so good in this series is that a lot of the details about FORM are explained in this video. These details are very important to understand FORM and follow along. So this makes it easy to follow and after watching the series you can really start working with FORM. It al flows logically and nicely. I highly recommend this!
