First of all, let´s have a go at some demo patterns to give you an idea of what Tanzbär Lite
can do. At the same time, we will learn how to ”perform“ on the Tanzbär Lite – that is, how
to play back patterns, modify them, and how to tweak sounds.
To play back and tweak pre-programmed sounds and patterns, we need to go into PLAY
