coastline (KORG M01D)

By bryface on January 12, 2014 11:57 pm

an unholy unity between japanese city pop, jungle, random latin-y stuff, and you know what, let's throw in some hip hop grooves in there too.


started 26 hours ago; finished and submitted 2 minutes before the deadline.  recorded from a nintendo 3DS, with no external effects.


i've got some cool ideas as to how i might expand this, but alas, not enough time.  BTW doing fast dnb-type stuff on the M01D is super hard btw and not for the faint of heart if you don't like manually entering 32nd-note note data and manually humanizing ALL of it =P


the M01D allows you to exchange song data via the internet.  if you're interested, send me a message and let's trade!

this is great! very video gamey, very tropical, very catchy %u30FD(

reminds me a lot of oldschool sega arcade games. Great soundtrack for the 38 degrees summer right now in Brazil (let me get another cold beer).

@pulselooper SCREW YOU IT'S SUPER COLD AND DAMP HERE IN VANCOUVER lol

I am very envious of those drum patterns, great work man

Such a crowd pleaser. WHERE IS THAT FAV BUTTON!

very fun

Great stuff, I like the weird tempo in particular.

Woah.  Such prog.  Diggin the sounds mate!  This is awesome.

Mmmmmmm yes. Dope drumming. Summer vibes in winter hahahaha.

You never cease to amaze. Like the stabby bass line with the smooth lead on top. I've been meaning to write a track on the M01D. Were there any noticeable differences between versions?

not really.  functionality- and sound palette-wise it's pretty much the same - but you do have twice the polyphony.  (encountering prematurely-cut notes was a surprisingly common occurrence in vanilla M01 tracks before).

I'd like to take a look at the song file please \o

Surely from a coastal driving-simulator in which every level ends in a spontaneous beach party. Awesome tempo and les changements d'accords!

I had run into the premature cut notes with the M01. The main thing I was excited about was using the SD card rather than saving on the ds cart. I king of liked having the set amount of polyphony in the M01 though. I find the limitation helpful in preventing me from over doing it and muddling up a song.

Amazing!

Good to see that I'm not the only one who got a convertible-sports-car-racing-in-the-sun vibe from this little gem! Love the rapid patterns in the middle too

this is great!

This is just amazing. M01D rules!!! I am surely going to make more tunes with that gem for weekly beats this year

Amazing track

Love your drum work!

Oh, my heart

Loving the melody of that one, good job, late commented but better late as never big_smile
