Love how mellow this is! What instruments did you primarily use on the m8?

Love how mellow this is! What instruments did you primarily use on the m8?

Thank you! This one is fairly sample-heavy - the only m8 instruments are the bass sound that comes in at around 1:20 (either FMsynth or macrosynth, I forget) and the weird metallic lead coming in at 2:14, which is FM synth, both my own. The pads are sampled from the deluge, one of the amazing boards of deluge presets. The plucks are CZ-101 samples, if I'm not mistaken.

You can squeeze quite organic and fuzzy-mellow-feeling tracks out of the M8. When I work with it, it's a struggle to get the result to flow. The monophonic 16-step sequence structure feels a bit like trying to paint through a keyhole. But I'm going to try to overcome this in August, we'll see!

In any case, good job on this one!

Thank you! And thank you, I know what you're saying! I've never been very good at thinking in longer phrases, so I find building them in a "bottom up" way by putting together and modifying smaller chunks more manageable than starting with a more freeform canvas like in a DAW. But sometimes I do feel like it'd be a bit easier to be able to see things in a longer timescale. Looking forward to hear anything you make with m8!
