Boson Bop
By Disposable Planet on February 8, 2026 4:30 pm
Keeping with the LSDJ and the elementary particle theme, this week is dedicated to bosons, which are not a specific particle but rather the category of elementary particles that governs energy or forces in the standard model.
Kept this one pretty straightforward and cheerful. Some panning in the simple intro. The bass is driving and not very complex. The melody is using the same stepwise table that oscillates between duty cycles each time the note is retriggered to create an organic sound to the lead. Lots of bends and vibrato and a few pitch drops at the tail end of long notes. There are some pseudo delayed arps set up at a 2 step delay in the middle. Also it slows down to ska tempo for the breakdown which has a funky bassline using the same electric slap bass LSDJ patch I've used before. Nothing fancy, just a solid chiptune trying to evoke some happy overworld video game theme vibes.
Thanks, as always, for listening!
