The trick is to get yourself a simple synthesizer like Cobalt vst or Kawai K3 vst which is extremely limited, but it shows you that because a synth looks like the equivalent of another(in this case the DW8000, or even Cobalt vst . It's not!! But I bought one of those instead of buying the Dw8000. But see what you can make. Your own General midi to explore the synth design experience. Composing is many things but synth design and arranging need to be practiced together.

There is also the Ensoniq SQ80 vst which is more powerful than both those. But I don't think these area's are really Biab's specialty. Your'e kind of in your own land and frontier doing this stuff. Biab has exposed me to rhythms I would know nothing about. So it's a major jukebox in many different musical vacation trips.
