Stage is a big help. Downloaded a "Bolivian flute" sf2 and put that and the synth that comes with Alpha in Sampler 3. Used the bass that comes with Alpha in Sampler 4 and recorded a 4 note loop. Used mixer in Stage to drop volume of percussion (drummer) a lot. Then I played Sampler 3 with that bass loop. Amazing all the sounds I could get from using those keys! One side was a synth, other side a native flute, and I got a more percussive sound if I hit the key sharply on one side. And add bending up and down. It was out of this world! It has taken 3 weeks to get here but worth it.
