This is the first of many lessons in my new course on this fantastic device. If you are brand new to the Octatrack or just curious about it - these lessons will be perfect for you.
Have a look at the chapters to see what I cover - use them to skip the early part of the video if you want although I advise you to watch the whole thing if you are a beginner.
