Growing pains are a real possibility, I'm very new to this.
It's pitch sequencing, I'm struggling to quickly create decent sounding melodies and bass lines. I definitely need more practice, but it feels like even if I were to put in the time to master Metron's Voltera expansion (which is what I've been using for pitch sequencing) I'd still really struggle to do it quickly and easily enough to keep the music satisfactorily interesting. Too many things to do to focus all my time on coming up with the next bit of pitch.
I'll keep playing with it. I'm already loads better off since the beginning of this thread, thanks to all these great suggestions.
