Composing

  • - Pick sounds for Auto Create - Ctrl+click sound names to build a beat from only those sounds

  • - Beat grid row mute and clear buttons

  • - New section - adds a clip after the current one, fills it with Auto Create and loops it

  • - Key button - write a section in a related key (relative, 4th/5th, modes)

Workflow
