How? How do people create digital music? I blankly stare at OpenMPT, patterns fly in front of my empty eyes, switching channels off and on - and it doesn't make sense. Sometimes it's a sample that sounds low quality, no good alone, and that one sounds just silly; sometimes it's just a mere echo of a sound that makes no sense played on its own - and here is an intricate pattern of various drums. But they somehow fit together and make a pleasant tune.
