Tutorials
These are patches with a purpose. Build them, listen to what changes, and use the explanation to understand why the patch behaves the way it does. Screenshots for the new examples can be dropped in as you build the matching RFM Space patches.

How to use these tutorials
Do not worry about matching every knob value before you understand the signal path. Get the architecture working first. Then compare settings and finally make the patch your own. A screenshot is a starting point, not a sacred text.
