Is there any major reason not to use the beat sequencer to assemble the loop? I’ve been setting up my main drum patterns in there, but I do like this more manual approach. Just started messing with this a few days ago. If anyone cares, got my first two beats up on my channel here. They’re rough, but I’m learning lol.
I should say, any major reasons besides the fact you can’t build your own drum kit from scratch in the sequencer - or at least I think you can’t. I’ve found that a little limiting, but you can expand the drum sounds available to you if you stack two sequences, IE two different kits playing the same pattern.
