Magic Tone Network

The XpressPads Magic Tone Network video tutorial series is the perfect addition to the XpressPads Finger Drumming courses. Ultimately, it makes it possible to compose songs completely on pads. While the XpressPads finger drumming technique focuses on all areas of drumming on pads, the Magic Tone Network video tutorial series instead teaches you how to compose chord progressions and melodies on pads.

The Magic Tone Network does not require that you know musical notation, nor does it require any background in music theory. It is about visual composing and recognizing structures in music. It’s easy and exciting! There is no need to worry about different keys and various chord fingerings: just shift playing patterns to a different center pad on your 8×8 pad controller, and you’re in a different key. In fact, the Magic Tone Network itself is one of the most logical and simplest structures that you will ever see in music. It’s accessible to anyone, even those without any prior musical experience, and the system opens the door to the great universe of computer-based music composing.

Best of all? You don’t have to pay anything for it. There are no hidden costs and no purchasing of tutorial sections in order to advance in your development. Moreover, this tutorial is one that you as the user can influence. The concept behind it is flexible. There are a couple of basics that you need to learn, but based on your own ideas and ways of thinking about music and pad controllers, you can come up with individual ideas, independent of the program.
