Oh, thank you! So far I've found it more complicated than a PO certainly, but also sort of more intuitive. There's more to learn, but it also makes more sense once you have done so. And because there are so many more possibilities, you can easily start with something simple then keep refining and enhancing it if you want to. I sort of had an advantage as mine was delayed by an entire month in shipping so I was obsessively reading the entire documentation and watching videos while I waited. I definitely recommend familiarising yourself with the mental model in this way first, and then going through the step-by-step walkthrough. Since then, I've barely looked at the documentation at all. I'm part-way through something much bigger and more complicated and it's all been very enjoyable and pretty easy - much more about creative ideas, sound design and arrangement than about figuring out how to work the tech. The inventor is definitely right: there's a lot you can do, but because the same interaction patterns are repeated everywhere, once you learn a bit you can do a LOT. For me, POs feel like creative problem solving whereas the Woovebox feels like creative exploration. It's fantastic.
@@ewanyork Thanks very much for that. I am tempted to buy one and am on the waiting list. When the next batch is ready, the maker sends an email, so I have to decide quickly whether to buy it or not before the batch sells out. I totally get what you mean by creative problem solving on the POs. How to get my POs to do xyz is often the challenge of each song I record, eg. this one ruclips.net/video/0UgbsUeFfuc/видео.htmlsi=FLYxNlNaK_4AHIRo was about running triplets against 4/4 beats. Looking forward to hearing the bigger thing you're working on.

Sounds great. So much sound from a small device. But tell me, how did you find the learning curve on the Woovebox?

How is it? Does it flow better or similar to a pocket operator? Nice cover track.
