Noob: Getting Started with Building Songs / Variations

Hi Everyone,

I just got my OT ~2 weeks ago and have learned enough to

a) be able to turn it on and do stuff (initially each time I turned it on I completely forgot how to use it)

b) realize this is an amazing device (love it)

I’ve been able to build sample chains, slice loops, record itself, use single cycle wavs (I’m shaky on this but got it working)…

I can build some funky loops. I’ll do some small variations. Not really understanding scenes fully… but beyond that, compositionally, I haven’t had the “a-ha!” moment around how to get from loops into an actual song.

Would love to hear input how others go from loops to compositions — workflow tips, even mindset tips, etc. When you were learning how to use the device, how did you make this leap from loops to compositions?

Thanks!
