      Bro u are the goat with these MPC vids, but I was wondering why u don't use the SP404 as much. Is it not as capable? Or is it just not the flavor u prefer?

      Theory can get deeper than Rameau… It also doesn’t help if you 1. Can’t define what you are going for 2. Have no one to communicate that with for collabs… what i am saying is music can be a difficult or simple as you want it to be. Gatekeepers can fight us😂

    But F# minor is a chord... Not a single note. You kept referring to it but then played single notes... That confused me a little. Understand theory very much in depth too... But I'm just trying to figure out what you meant to or were trying to say.
