    I believe Korg Volca users of all levels can learn something from these guides and for the price it is a no brainer. If you are new to these products it would take months to learn may of the features without this guide. Tony makes his guides easy to follow without ever getting lost or confused. I keep utilizing this guide as I get more comfortable with the advanced features. I highly recommmend it to anyone, but can’t stress enough if you are a newbie like me, it is ESSENTIAL. Korg is great but their instructions are bare bones. Thanks Tony!

    The author has done a superb job of explaining the capabilities of the Volca Beats and how to get the most out of it! Korg manuals should be half this thorough and we'll written.

    I bought this book shortly before I purchased a Korg Volca Beats, this book has been an excellent tool to learn how to use the beats. There are lots of quick jump bookmarks to get you to back and forth between functions; from editing beats to saving your work and back quickly. With lots of pictures of the buttons you need to press to perform an function, its very easy to master this drum machine. The E-book also goes into all the ways to hook up to midi or other devices. Korg kinda dropped the ball on the instruction manual, just packaging a quick guide, and all the youtube tutorials i watched seemed to skip the basics and just focus on the youtuber's skill at beat programing. This book is cheap compared to what I've learned. Heres to hoping more of these E-books are on the way.
