Time for action—making our basses
We need to start adding elements to our song editor to cover our bassline for the song. Instead of using the Beat+Bassline Editor, we're going to use the Piano-Roll:
- Go to the side bar, and open up the instruments. We're going to use the LB302 as shown in the following screenshot:
- Click on the LB302 and drag it to the Song Editor, as shown in the following screenshot:
- Now click next to the track to get a new element for this instrument, as shown in the following screenshot:
- Double-click on that element to give us the Piano-Roll editor. We will write a basic bassline to compliment our beat.
- In the Song Editor, set the loop area to four bars. Right-click on bar five as shown in the following screenshot:
- Press the Space bar to hear the four bar loop.
- Leave the Song Editor playing as we create our bassline.
- Now open the element next to our LB302, and write the following notes in the Piano-Roll:
Listen to the beat playing along with this new bassline...
