General advice

A long-press on a parameter on your Woovebox, will call up the full website documentation for that parameter.

Automatically call up documentation via Wooveconnect 2

With your Woovebox connected to Wooveconnect, a long-press on a parameter will not only provide an 8-character description on the LED display, but will also call up the full website documentation for that parameter. Your screen or device must be in landscape mode.

Song mode

As opposed to many other grooveboxes, Song mode is not an afterthought. In fact, almost everything about the Woovebox workflow and sound design, is about functioning as build blocks for a song.

As such, getting to the point where you can use Song mode effectively is key to get the most out of your Woovebox. If full song creation sounds daunting, there is a song writing guide/recipe here.

Never stop learning

Music and sound design are open-ended topics. No matter how far along you are in your journey, there are always new things to discover; new sounds, new techniques, new genres. Your Woovebox is a open-ended tool to help you discover and explore these, rather than confining you to one specific use-case, genre, instrument or function.

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. Even if you're not experimentally inclined, or are simply not interested in 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 them as a basis of your own sounds (rather than using them as-is). The ways samples can be used and transformed on the Woovebox are - again - vast.

Enjoy your time with the Woovebox

Most of all, enjoy your time with the Woovebox! A learning curve is expected, but it will get easier and things will click. If there are any roadblocks to your enjoyment, a friendly community on Discord or Reddit is here to help you.
