In the channel rack you can add plugins for different instruments, to make patterns with the instruments you add you have to use the piano roll.
Piano Roll
The piano roll is where you can add notes to your instruments. You can be as creative as you want in the piano roll and make whatever you want. The melody you add will be part of the pattern but if you don’t want it to be in the same pattern as something else then you can make another pattern.
Playlist
