How do you find inspiration to write new music

How to do this, that and the other. Share, learn, teach. How did X do that? How can I sound like Y?

Yes, I run it on a ASUS Transformer Netbook Windows 10, Instant start, no crashes eats 16-34bit samples stereo or mono individual size to 16 MB (the old DOS version) who knows maybe more...

Has very clever note velocity based filter modulation, pattern commands are easy & simple, has 'smart patterns' every pattern is equipped for all tracks you can turn any off or on in any block. This also allows for rendering a single track at a time for loading into a multi-track editor... Have tested it but not done it fully I guess being too much a purest...

One drawback is a uniform stereo environment, only delay send has a stereo effect but if you post-process you can do stereo whatever...

Couple tunes I have done NO POST other than a fade or convert to MP3-

The more you write, the more experiences inspire you to write. Sometimes it's just messing around with an instrument but other times you'll hear some music that you want to draw from, or a story that inspires you. But when you're in the habit, your brain will be more likely to be drawn into the creative process.

Interesting, I'm totally into old school music software but never heard about this.

And you have put it to great use, according to your Alonetone. Nice music! :tu:

I just wait usually. I do not feel compelled to make music all the time, much like anything in life.

I would say real life emotions and experiences - sometimes it seems good to "force" yourself play around in DAW, but sometimes it just comes the best having little break and watch outside and you may find people from sitting on bench on the park, walking, or these noises from clocks or city lights, birds, anything, mix and experiment which works better for you and experiment to change the ways when one seems tiresome. Also changing the enviroment when making music helps.

The easiest way I've found is to listen to a lot of music and look out for something really short that catches my ear. This could be a small part of a melody or a single chord [ideally 1-5 seconds]. Then I'd develop that idea into something of my own.
