Ask the good-\\\cheap-\\\\\controller Q in the Synth section. Would be interested to see the replies.
Argh! see what happens when i put a dash?|?|?|\\\ and a question mark...
Anyways the problem stops after a bit. But it sucks. That's why i didn't put a dash between
1-3; 2-4; 3-5;
etc etc . Okz that little eg. OVERLAID over say the phrygian major mode would go C-E; Dflat-F; E-G. It's called playing up and down the scale in thirds. You can do this in fourths fifths sixths sevenths.
Playing up and down the scale in thirds does not necessarily mean there will be an interval of a third betwixt each note, it means that you skip a scale note and hit the next above, so play C note, D flat comes next so skip it and play E. THEN progress to Dflat - play it, Ecomes next so skip it and play F. THEN progress up the scale to E, play it, F comes next so skip it and play G.
You get a much better feel for getting around this way. It's actually a jazzers approach but hey jaz exploded music theory and opened up the dna of it and techno is the new rock and trance could be the new cool jazz, so ...whatever.
Can you see how you would play up and down in fourths? (not an actual fourth between each note, but you play the root note C to start with, skip __ notes, play F, then go up to the next note to excersize after C, this is Dflat so play it, then skip __ notes and play G)
hehehe have a go. you will hear the sound i am getting at
maybe one day i could teach u harmonised arps overlaid over weird scales.
