The creator uses Arturia Analog Lab to find a lead sound and manually maps out MIDI notes for C# and F# chords to accompany the sample.

  3. Identify the freestyle chord notes (D# and G#)
  4. Map out the MIDI notes manually to correct any performance errors
  5. Arrange the notes to match the timing of the vocal sample

Watch out for

  • Ensure the MIDI notes are mapped correctly to avoid dissonant freestyle errors
