Making a lo-fi track with just one cheap synth

"I limited myself using only Stylophone Beat with Loopy Pro to make a chill lo-fi track. This little drum machine can also do neat bass sounds, which I've used to create a melody over the recorded beat.

I was usually using the Beat exactly as intended: punching in notes with its built-in sequencer (which is quantized), then jam over it with a synth or a guitar (so basically it was a groovy metronome for me). This time I wanted to try something new and use it exclusively to create something "off the grid", so I've played the Beat freely and looped it. With the use of some great effects I managed to elevate the sounds of this unit."
