Found a decent deal on ebay and bought myself an xmas prezzie.
Now I've never used an Elektron machine before but judging from the knobs it looks pretty intuitive and fun. The only hardware machine sampler I used is the MPC live, which I still have and am learning. What is something a newbie should know about the workflow?

 

If you wanna get fluent with any elektron machine, take your time and work yourself through the manual after updating to the latest OS.
I'd start with file management to avoid headaches later

I"m in the same boat, only I bought a Digitakt on sale. Overbridge works great with Ableton, no so much on Digital Performer.

 

Thanks guys. I’m all in Ableton although Ive come to realize that the audio engine just doesnt sound as good as cubase and pro tools. The workflow is killer however

 

didn't ableton die off a few months back? if they're still around they need to get their act together.

 

Once you are familiar with the basic functions, i would recommend digging into the: Chance / Condition and Sample Locks, especially if you like IDM music.

P.S The MPC One + Model Samples combo gives me many hours of fun, and if you add a Korg Monologue and a Behringer Td3, you will never leave home again lol!
