The phrase number will change to one you’ve previously not used. To clone, highlight the second phrase 01, hold select, then press b, then press a. In chain 01, place 3 more phrase 01’s below the one your already have there. We’re going take our existing bassline section (phrase 01) and ‘clone’ it 3 times, so that we’re able to edit each one without it affecting the other. Now, instead of having to create 3 new phrases, go into them and place the notes for each again – we’re going to make it easier and faster for you You should be back in chain 01, and phrase 01 will be visible. To go back to the chain screen press and hold select and tap left. That’s what we’re aiming for here to get you familiar with the program) Ok, we need to go back and create 3 more phrases in chain 01 (if you think about it, most dance/pop music travels in the 4/4 timing.

The manual and wiki on the official website harbor a mass of information that I couldn’t possibly hope to include in a ‘newbie’ guide. This isn’t a guide to every nook and cranny the LSDJ has to offer. ![]() My advice would be to give LSDJ a try, and if you find it too difficult try learning the basics on computer software with an easier graphical interface. It’s not essential that you know any of these things or have previous experience in music (everyone has to start somewhere right?) but it has certainly helped me. I have previous digital musical knowledge of programs such as Ableton Live, Cubase and FL Studio and I also have a working understanding of chords, scales and musical notation. I hope this basic guide helps people, as throughout learning the program I trawled the intarnetz for different explanations and tutorials – another one can’t be a bad thing! This is a tutorial for people who want to learn how to make music using LSDJ and have either very basic or no musical knowledge.
