How do I build a full song?

Building a full song involves creating scenes and using the commit function to structure different sections of your track.

Basic Song Building

Start by creating your first beat or pattern in any group. Once you have something you like, press altero + manus to commit. This saves your current pattern arrangement as a scene and automatically creates a new scene that's a duplicate of what you just saved.

Building Song Structure

1. 1.Create your intro section in scene 1. Use any combination of the four groups (A, B, C, D) with their patterns.
2. 2.Press altero + manus to commit this as scene 1 and create scene 2.
3. 3.In scene 2, make changes like adding new patterns, switching to different patterns in any group, or muting groups to create your verse section.
4. 4.Press altero + manus again to save scene 2 and create scene 3.
5. 5.Continue this process for each song section: chorus, bridge, breakdown, outro, etc.

Switching Between Scenes

Hold manus + minus/plus to navigate scenes during playback. This lets you perform your song structure live. You can also hold manus + type a number on the paeds for direct scene selection.

Each scene can have different patterns playing across the four groups, creating variation throughout your song. The commit function works without stopping playback, so you can continuously build and experiment.
