stuck in loop lock
expand the pattern a couple times, and then work on it in chunks.
last night i tried something out that's more like building tracks on the MPC, where i was looping in 16 bar increments and building on those chunks or removing elements to give the track more "movement" before sliding to the next 16 bar loop.
just add some automation to the mix, and you got something you can release in no time ๐ฆพ๐ฏ
