   Make a Berlin techno set on the pads, 124 BPM in A minor, on Robin’s own synth: 16 loops, four parts (a kick, a rolling bass, hats and a dark stab) over four scenes that build from the warm-up to the peak, the hour the club lights go blue, and back down. Save it as Berlin Night. (For the sound: Loop)

   Robin Berlin Night is saved, and it's on the pads now: 16 loops on Robin's synth at 124 BPM in A minor, four parts across four scenes. The bounce is open in the Sound pane and saved as Berlin-Night.wav in the project folder. The set itself is at pads/Berlin Night.padset.
