Below is an example of a composition by Rochelle made at Leisure Ed using Super Duper Music Looper. It is a good example of a piece in "ternary form". It has loops in common in the first and last section and a contrasting middle section! It also has great use of drum fills leading into new sections. media type="file" key="Rochelle2 1.mp3" width="240" height="20" Below is a screen shot of the first section of the piece.
