The steps
Read them here, or press Play along and the studio will walk you through them.
Change the voice
Open the Instrument tab and pick a different voice — try Grand Piano, an acoustic guitar or a synth pad. You can swap mid-performance.
Switch on sustain
Turn on Sustain so notes keep ringing after you change chords, like holding a piano pedal.
Adjust the EQ
Open Sound / EQ and drag the low, mid or high band to taste. Reset puts everything back.
Darken one track
In the Session tab, switch on LP for a track in the Layers strip and drag its cutoff down to muffle just that part.
