    It's remarkable how those evolving Tangerine Dream-style bass grooves that I used to think were quite complicated are actually fairly simple. By programming in a few subtle changes to a simple pattern, I could get lost in a groove like this for hours!

      Quite easy to enjoy, given it was well done. Besides, I was still bobbing my head from the jam I did a couple of days ago. Berlin School never dies ;) Have a great evening!@@synthseeker

    Been a Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulz, J M Jarre fan for decades but never quite able to replicate the Berlin School style but your videos make it possible! Thank you so much.
    Regarding transpositions, a common technique which I find very effective is to move a whole piece in steps of minor thirds (3 semitones).

    Nice one Luke but don't forget Sorceror! Many thanks for sharing your knowledge, I've been slowly learning the Berlin School vibe so I can use it as a basis for further exploration, and you're really helping me. I could listen to that riff for hours... maybe due to me discovering Encore Live in my formative years, which I've never gotten bored with. Cheers, and please keep it up :)

    i saw this in a previous vid and am confused; where do you find the scale setup in the clip view (or any view, for that matter), because i can't find it anywhere - i've had to write out the full scale each time, highlight it, hit the back arrow before inputting my notes, and do that for every single clip... please help [edit: forgot to mention i'm using v10.0.1]

    Thanks very much. By viewing your videos I was able to create my own track. Maybe the baseline is very similar to what you shared here, maybe the track overall is a bit boring. But at least I find a way to make music I adore very much. Hope it’s a start to make something more “professional “. Thanks again.
