Thanks for everything. Enjoyed my time here. Keep up the piano, drums, and music!

I'm new to synthesizers. I've played with a microkorg for 15 years! but never had an interest how anything worked until now. This week I learned how to use the microkorg, I figured out how to make some bell/gong timbres, and now I'm trying to model a string, which is difficult! Not a string ensemble but like a single violin. It's been fun

I recently started recording full takes instead of sequencing/sampling, and it was very humbling to learn how much I need to improve as a player.

If you find the right teacher and are willing to do the practice, lessons will go a long way.

Your loop is a journey from point A (the first chord or melody) to point B (the resolution) For variation, try taking different routes to reach point B. Or maybe point B changes to a different chord, something that doesn't resolve. That will allow you to continue your journey to point C (a new chord) Now you can make your way back to point A, or back to point B, or somewhere else entirely. Enjoy the journey

Musescore has tablature format. As @Niiru said transcribe them yourself. Simply putting them into musescore yourself will help you learn the timing you're struggling with, and other good things about the music. And when you are ready to practice on bass again this work will translate. You will surprise yourself. Get your $30 worth!

(And musescore will playback the audio too)

I recommend this lecture on the roots of reggaeton music. Certainly electronic with emphasis on sampling. Fun music with a rich history. https://youtu.be/yLOXfSQ5Zao
