So in the playlist, you can bring in different loops/patterns and take out different loops/patterns in various places by drawing them in or dragging them over. Now if you don’t understand what I mean by “4 bars” or “8 bars” – it’s how you count time in music.
The next area you should know about is called the PLAYLIST or ARRANGEMENT WINDOW (3). This is where you take the different patterns/loops you create in the channel rack and lay them out in different places across a timeline, so you aren’t stuck with a repetitive 4 or 8 loop that just plays over and over again without changing. If you want to mute the sound so it doesn’t play back, you’d click this green light. You can turn the volume up or down of the sound/instrument or move it between the left and right speakers using these knobs here. This brings up a piano sequencer where you can draw in actual notes at different pitches up and down the length of the piano.
If you’ve got a melodic instrument like a piano, you right-click on that instrument name and choose PIANO ROLL (not pictured).
This is best for drum and percussion sounds. If I want to remove a note/beat, I just right-click on it. So for example if I wanted the kick drum to play on these different beats, I’d draw them in by clicking on the squares with my mouse.
