Start with rhythm
Use the full drum editor to build the groove, swap samples, and define the pocket before anything else sits on top.
Song Studio is where the MPL tools stop feeling separate. Program drums, shape a synth line, write harmony, balance the buses, and bounce a full loop without leaving the browser.
This walkthrough shows what makes Song Studio different inside MPL: one synced transport, a real drum lane, the full synth with its phrase lane, harmony on the same timeline, and a mixer that records the live master bus.
Use the full drum editor to build the groove, swap samples, and define the pocket before anything else sits on top.
Use the same MPL synth from the Sound Design flow, then write a phrase directly underneath it in the synth lane.
Use the harmony piano roll to frame the loop musically, then balance all three buses and bounce the sketch.
These controls drive the whole studio. Every lane follows this transport.
Initializing Song Studio…
Use the full drum editor to program the pulse of the loop before you layer anything melodic on top.
Shape the patch with the real MPL synth, then write a phrase directly below it using the synced synth lane.
Use the harmony piano roll to support the groove with chords, motifs, or top-line movement that completes the sketch.
Control the balance of the full sketch without leaving the page.
