Great patient overview of a deceptively deep little machine. I’d taught myself much of this from experimentation and the manual myself, but as with so much Elektron gear, not everything is intuitive, so to have RR walk through all of it with real-use examples really pulled it all together. Great stuff.

Yoooooooo this is a really good course. 100% worth the money. Rishabh explains things very clearly and maybe most importantly, CONCISELY. I also really appreciated the quiz at the end. This is my 1st Elektron instrument and even this thing is totally daunting; but this course has really been a big big help. Thx bruv!

Fantastic course on Model: Cycles. The reviewer is very clear, doesn’t move too quickly, and gets all the important points across. I also like that he’s not just teaching button presses but explaining how these concepts fit into your workflow and different use cases. Great job.
