Hi @zynthianers!

I announced this “new feature” in another thread, but it didn’t get any attention, probably because it was not the right place. Today, while reviewing “tickets” i saw there were two old “feature request” for it:

So here we go again!

I added (Vangelis) 3 libraries of MID files that you can load from the pattern editor (import SMF). These libraries can be useful resources when composing, experimenting or simply learning.

Chord Progressions

Organized in 3 modes:

  • Major
  • Minor
  • Modal

and 5 styles:

  • Plain
  • HopHop
  • Pop1
  • Pop2
  • Soul

Drum Patterns

  • Afrocuban
  • Blues
  • Boogie
  • Bossa
  • ChaCha
  • Disco
  • Ending
  • Funk

  • Pop
  • Reggae
  • RnB
  • Rock
  • Samba
  • Shuffle
  • Ska
  • Slow
  • Swing
  • Tango

Nice. I can’t wait to check this out. I’ve been thinking for some time that would be great to have, especially the beats. I’m terrible at beat-making…especially when trying to loop it. Having these, even if just a starting point, will help a lot when trying to loop.

I haven’t tried Vangelis yet, but seeing all these exciting new features I feel like I should give it a try now. So many new things to explore.
