Producers want to experiment with musical patterns before committing to full arrangements, but traditional DAWs force track-based thinking.

Monetize through direct sales to bedroom producers and small studios who value workflow speed.
Start with a basic pattern grid and MCP implementation, then add export features.
Risk is competing against established DAWs with more features.
