Once you know the Elektron workflow, you're set for life. Sorry, I know this is not helpful.

I always found the OT to be the most complicated, workflow wise, because of just how much it can do. And the file system works differently than the others. That said, my muscle memory gets confused by the workflow differences between the A4/Rytm & Digitone/takt

I haven’t used the elektrons for literally months and am worried Ive lost the knack- is it something you have to relearn if you take a break?

I’ve a couple of their boxes I’ve gone from beginner to intermediate and sort of plateaued there -as they’ve sat gathering dust while I focus on more important keep my family sorted tasks. But I’ve heard horror stories about the Oct as learning curve
