  • @luckyduckydrivingschool3615

    These are some great tips. Of course, you'll want to use a lot of them sparingly (such as the randomization and arpeggiator). Or you can use them as a starting point when drafting melodies, etc, and then manually fine tune the sequence to fit your compositional intention.

      @oblivion1501 Před 5 lety +12
