"Lab helps me write faster without sacrificing taste. I get strong starting points immediately, then sculpt them into my own sound."
Start from inspiring harmony—genre-driven banks, eight modal scales, and section loops—then shape feel with density, swing, and humanize (timing, velocity, or both). Bar lengths from ½ to 16 bars, seven time signatures, host or manual 20–999 BPM, MIDI capture or import, and ten MIDI learns keep you in flow.
