 As you probably already guessed, 
this section in its entirety 
will be dedicated to music.          
 Let's start with the fact that everyone 
a talented musician faces  
sound problem.In order to  
make it easier to write your music -
ok, I'll give you a few examples.
Example 1: echo.                   
On one channel (B) you play sound
 at full volume, at another  
 (C) a little quieter.              
    A B C        
   --0000 ║ A-800f ║ --0000     
   --0000 ║ --0000 ║ A-800d     
                                
 Moreover, with a lag of 1-2-3   
notes. It turns out very well,  
when samples overlap 
at each other. The higher the speed, the
The melody sounds more beautiful.Another ray-
oh, if you submit it at the same time 
"A" channel masked sound: 
      A B C         
024║A-8aOf ║A-400f ║--0000 ║    
   ║--0000 ║--0000 ║A-400d ║    
                                
 For complete beginners, I’ll explain how
 do it: in the sample editor 
 close "1" first and second    
scale.                          
 example 2: used in fast
 compositions.                   
      AB C        
   ║--0000 ║A-400f ║--0000 ║    
   ║--0000 ║A-400d ║--0000 ║    
 In this case, the note is sent to 
maximum volume, and then  
slightly dampened. There will be more    
cooler if you substitute it under the first one
note (A) another, harmonically   
suitable for her (mi or do). 
For people who don't know the designation
Let me explain the notes: A is “A”, E is “E”,  
to-"C".                         
 In the ornament you also need to actively 
use the volume.        
 For example, periodic increase-
waning and attenuation. (looks like sinus-
soidu), just-increasing, orna - 
ment with echo, fading ornament 
and much more.                
  p.s. In the application you will find   
Mouzons you can climb in
 and pull out samples from the ornament 
cops, or you can just take it and 
use them for your programs 
frames, but don’t forget to declare them   
the author (that is, me).
