    Oh, well, I agree with that. I pick and choose from his vids for stuff that’s technically or theoretically interesting (there has got to be a better way to word that sentence). However, I’m with you on the composition thing. A lot of it seems to be a bit geared for the musically uninspired, but if you take a look at which musicians make the most money, you’ll see that that makes up a very large percentage of the population.

    @manictiger
    I’m talking more about putting thought into a composition (chord choice, melody, harmony, etc.) then just plugging in some notes and using a cutting and pasting tool which is what a lot of these videos do. I don’t know, i prefer composing on paper.

    That’s not a very wise statement. Everything about FL helps one learn about music, from simple to advanced music theory. The problem comes with the difference between live and automated playing. I am MUCH more concise and sophisticated on FL. However, I can human-like subtlety into something as simple as a single melody far quicker on piano, there’s the hands-on experience and the ability to change melodies easier. My ultimate goal is to bridge the gap, so to speak.

    @WikiPeoples
    I take it you don’t understand music one bit do you? Or the effort, time, energy, and attention to detail it takes to make a composition memorable, subtle, and interesting. Anyone can strum out chords on a guitar, or plug them into a program. It takes a great deal more emotion and passion to make something great. BTW I can’t play piano.

    Oh, using a piano roll editor does not teach you shit. You gotta be able to read a staff the actually understand what is mathmatically happening.

    Actually, you’re wrong. In every major scale (Strictly diatonic and non-modal, so essentially just Ionian) the I, IV, and V chords are major triads and ii, iii, and vi are minor triads with Vii being a diminished triad.

    there’s no such thing as a diminished minor, its just called diminished.

    Pretty much always in a major scale (with no accidentals) I, IV, and V are major triads, and ii, iii, vi are minor triads and Vii is mo (Diminished Minor).

    Just press the arrow at the top left of the piano roll window.. bring down menu there and you’ll find a set of options labeled “helpers.” The 3 or 4 items you see under that set are the helpers. They detect what scale you’re working in and provide a guide on the piano roll grid to working in that scale.
