+1 on "use the favourites" -- makes Disting much more manageable, especially because it saves the parameters, so once you've got it working you don't need to fish the manual out again...
Currently my favourite programs are :
* I1 : sample player (Z = sample select)
* J8 : Crossfade Loop Player
The organisation I suggest is to make a folder for each favourite with the samples needed for that favourite only (even it's just one!) because changing favourites is way easier than trying to find the sample you want using the Z knob.
I also like the very much Quantiser and Dual Quantiser modes.
Everyone says the delay is good, but I have never tried it. Maybe I should!
It's quite nice just to flick through the manual before you start patching and build the patch around some Disting program you don't know yet. Like -- what is does a Pulsar oscillator sound like anyway?
