Sequencing on something like LSDJ is great because you are locked into this tiny little ecosystem and you have to get creative.
This exactly. When I use a standard DAW, I spend SO much time searching for (or making) samples, synth patches, tweaking effects to usually little effect, while the constraints of LSDj force me to have a relatively consistent sound from the get-go and into actually making music. Unfortunately, it’s hard to translate that into something that isn’t chiptune or some other genre that I don’t particularly care for right now like rock.
Definitely, just thought it needed clarification.
