Hi.
I have again a big problem. When I make a music, it's very repetitive. On Tropical zone, the VRC6 Pulse 2 and sawtooth are very repetitive but I don't know how to make my musics less repetitive.
I need help please.

The solution to repetition is to, well, stop repeating. Try making small variations to whatever is being repeated to break the pattern. That's not to say that repetition doesn't have a place. If you look at the Pokemon TCG soundtrack you'll notice a TON of it. Just about every sound starts with a simple tune playing over and over again. The key to doing stuff like that is to make what you're repeating catchy enough that people won't get annoyed by listening to it. I also noticed that your repeating part tends to get off beat. While you might be going for a syncopation effect, it didn't sound right. IO hope this textwall helped!

Personally, I come from a different perspective, besides what is already mentioned I think you should take care also what is on the background, that helps a lot when your melody is the same. I've attached a little example on how a making the bass play different notes makes the melody feel diferent, even if it is the same notes again and again. I personally would recomend you learn chord progressions, this is about music theory and helps a lot when making what is on the background of your melody. In the same attachment, the second song (which you can access in the "song information" seccion where you can put the name of the song and esle, at the bottom of it) a simple chord progression that is very used, but if you put a good melody over it I could be good, the third song is another prog that is "different", you could learn a bit from it.
In short, give focus to what is on the background too.
Hope you find this usefull
