Building a Song
Using the touch panel you can add, replace, or
remove loops and recordings to compose a song.
The elements include:
- Back beats (The foundation or “rhythm” of a
song.)
- Riffs (A short, repeated, musical phrase, which
focuses much of the energy and excitement of a
song)
- Licks (A series of notes that is used in solos and
melodic lines.)
- Runs (fills up the empty spaces of a song to
keep the music going.)
For each element of the song, there are three
different Loop options.
Press the touchpoints under each to play, switch
or mute one of the options.
