Creating Original Accompaniment Rhythms
What is the Division?
A song progresses in predictable a sequence, such as intro,
melody A, melody B, bridge and ending.
With the ATELIER, such changes in songs are allocated to the
following six performance states. We call these six parts of a
song “Divisions.”
You can make a song more lively or more restrained by
increasing or reducing played parts by Divisions. You can
also modify a song by changing the voice of the parts in the
Divisions.
