Haha...but you are wrong.

@knifecrimes

LOL. Yes, very well then.

@protodome

Dude. You are wrong.

"Dude, key =/= scale."

In music theory, the key of a piece is a group of pitches, or scale upon which a musical composition is created.

" There's no real difference between a funk jam in Dm (D dorian) and a pop track in C (C ionian) as both are built on the same scale."

Dm = D minor, which is aeolian, not dorian. They are not the same.

D natural minor (aeolian) = D, E, F, G, A, A#, C
D dorian = D, E, F, G, A, B, C

I concur that D dorian consists of the same notes as C Major (ionian), as does F Lydian.

D Dorian = D, E, F, G, A, B, C
C Major = C, D, E, F, G, A, B
F Lydian = F, G, A, B, C, D, E

" Using C major doesn't reflect on a composer's skill whatsoever."

It only reflects that they have not yet worked out how to do anything with a keyboard other than using all the white keys (ie. no accidentals). This is the problem with the pocket operator series of devices which has recently been released. Personally I am tired of hearing cliched electronic music in C major.

Honestly, some of the chord names you have written here are not even real chords.

Bro, I heard you dont have the right not to be offended.

Oh yeah. O.K, in that case I take that back.

Mad respect for your track "neurosciencia"!

"Seeing as key is completely irrelevant, only movement between them matters, it makes no sense." - protodome

Are you seriously suggesting that the key of a piece does not matter at all, and that only key changes are important?

I urge you to go and listen to:

B Harmonic minor (B, C#, D, E, F#, G, A)

E Diminished (E, F#, G, A, A#, C, C#, D#)

A Pentatonic Major (A, B, C#, E, F#)

C Hirajoshi (C, E, F#, G, B)

compare them. Can you understand how the feeling they create is completely different?

Indeed.

Verily, I must confess that I, much like yourself sir, have neither the time nor the inclination to take to the stage in an effort to savour the experience of performing in a public locale.

However, I do concede that oneself does continue to harbor the ambition to, mayhaps in the not too distant future, upload digital video recordings of ones own musical tracker "performances" to the globally popular website known as 'youtube'.

Certainly, it is admirable indeed, good fellow, that you endevour to create your own compact discs, not simply in the pursuit of monetary gain, but instead as an offering to the unbridled love of creativity itself.

One heartily accepts the sentiment contained within your statements concerning the financial burden associated with the purchase of traditional musical instruments.

Undeniably, comparitively high quality musical contraptions are, after all, the fruits of a skilled craftsman's labours, are they not?

Ah, I recollect the occasions (which are now many moons past) when I ventured into the distant forest and sat upon the tuffet in the glen, playing a whimsical melody on my piccolo to accompany the sounds which came forth from my gameboy advance (with nanoloop 2.3 cartridge)...that which I had composed at an earlier time.

Such as it was, truly a beauteous, albeit somewhat lonesome ceremony.

I believe the E command envelope is only for volume, not filter cutoff or resonance.
