kidnapped robot

By ddmm64 on February 20, 2022 10:43 pm

Back in the saddle after missing last week. This one started like most of my M8 tracks so far: making a patch (in this case, the FM strings in the intro, based on an old OPL3 patch), making some random patterns to test it, hitting something I kinda like, and then just taking it wherever I feel like it wants to go. This time, I thought it was a little synthwavey, so I added some sui generis drums (dunno, some drum kit samples) and synth sounds (custom FM synth, macrosyn/saw swarm and wavsynth patches). Credit goes to laserdogrob for the amazing lead patch I used around the 2:00 mark.   

I like the simplicity of the melodies, hauntingly harmonious!

The M8 scales make it easy to mash keys until you get something semi-decent! This time I used Dorian big_smile

I really liked it!!

Welcome back, missed you last week! It's snowing in Seattle, but this is all like...

This hits me just right.

These drums sound so good, the intro synth and the lead work together so well, great choice of sounds on this one
