All these questions will be answered in this video, as Yung Skrrt takes Reason 13 and makes a beat from scratch with the new Polytone Duyal-Layer Synthesizer.
In this tutorial, Skrrt will pick Polytone patches, record original melodies with each layer, stretch them into a 32 bar passage, record drum samples into a beat, then arrange everything into a full instrumental.
