🎹 How do you combine the mechanics of creating melodies with the musical theory that guides and underpins good music, without years of learning and practice? 🎵
🎶Yamaha's Seqtrak is a battery-powered groove box, synthesizer and sampler touted as the Ultimate Music creation station. It has great sounds and some very neat tricks. However, I have 3 big issues, not just with Seqtrak but with step-sequencer groove boxes in general. 🎧
In this video, I'll go through my issues and how to solve them by plugging in a Melody Designer like Midicake ARP. I'll show you how to get more from your Step Sequencer and how powerful sequence generators can inspire new musical ideas with amazing ease.
