We all have our favourite riffs. But when your new shiny synth or machine gets delivered we always seem to have a piece we play on it first. Do you have a a favourite? Mine is the opening bars of Moonlight Sonata. Sad but true. Every new synth gets the Beethoven workout first. Dont be embarrassed if its An 80s synth pop riff😎

I just make the biggest fattest kick drum patch I can muster.
Then, with a few days of patching under my belt, I see if I can best it.
Everything in its right place

You’re being too modest. I bet you’re like Bach with that low C.

Find the drone mode or stick a pen to sustain a note then twiddle knobs for a few hours OR sequence it from any pattern from my Xoxbox and twiddle knob for hours
