Learning the Woovebox
You don't have to know much about music or music theory to start using your Woovebox effectively. And learning how to operate the Woovebox is - as you will see - surprisingly easy, quick and intuitive. Your Woovebox is, however, an extremely deep device with massive sonic production potential, should you choose to tap it (but you don't have to of course!). If you do though, it's a great way to develop your own signature sound and style, while keeping Gear Acquisition Syndrome ("GAS") at bay.
Gear Acquisition Syndrome ("GAS")-stopper
Your Woovebox is not a one-trick-pony; it was built to give you a lot of headroom to grow along with and experiment with. Your Woovebox covers a lot of the capabilities of other gear and "budget" boxes, many of which are typically sold piecemeal or have been artificially limited to achieve a particular price point / feature set. With the Woovebox however, you have everything at your fingertips to make an album (and perform it live!) if you so choose. Your Woovebox is a studio in a tiny box. It is not a "gateway" device or cut-down version of a more expensive "bigger brother".
Tweak the presets
Before resorting to, for example, the vast Teenage Engineering OP-1 / OP-Z sample library, delving into the Woovebox' synthesis engine is highly recommended. But even if you're not experimentally inclined or are simply not interested in learning the basics of synthesis, try tweaking the presets or use the patch randomization function to find a unique sound. It's the gateway to making a track "your own" and developing your own style and sound. Your Woovebox can perform in virtually all genres of music. If you do decide to use samples however, then learn how to use these samples as the basis of your own sounds (rather than using them as-is). You can also transform them using the creative real-time pitch-shifting and time-stretching.
The learning will never stop. Sorry. (not sorry)
Music and sound design are open-ended topics. There are always new things to discover; new sounds, new techniques, new genres. Your Woovebox is a tool to help you discover and explore these, rather than confining you to one specific use case, genre, instrument or function.
