Make Noise Telharmonic, help wanted!

Anyone here owning and using the Make Noise Telharmonic?

It was advertised as ‘no knowledge of music theory is required to make chord progressions or melodies’, but I find it hard to program those progressions. The tutorials I found on Youtube sound like a lot of abacadabra to me and the manual isn’t really comprehensible if you have no knowledge of music theory ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe I overlooked some golden tips or tuts, so feel free! (I know how to use the basic stuff and how to tune the thing, but I can’t wrap my head around the behaviour of degree and interval).
