Made some experimental, funky and chippy sounds this week.  Started out with a simple M8 FMsynth slap bass patch that cycles through limit types in the table.  Then the track ended up turning into house before morphing into a sort of Primus-influenced jamband sounding thing.  Got a little carried away.  Sound design could definitely use some more work.  It's almost all synths but I was experimenting with mixer commands (specifically with putting chorus, reverb, and delay global volume commands in tables and phrases in order to try to make the synths sound like slightly glitched out samples layered over each other with tails cutting off and ducking etc on occasion...)   Not sure if I succeeded or created a mess! - (but it was a lot of fun)  The strange lead that comes in every now and then is Macrosynth and cycles oscillators stepwise in the table to add to the overall weirdness and glitchyness.   Didn't have time to mix and master so the render is straight out of the M8.  Thanks for listening!

That macrosynth lead is magical and very well placed. Great tune!

ooh yeah, as promised this is funky

Always impressed at how many ideas you're able to cram into a song, especially in one week! Just curious, do you program the lead/solo lines in manually, or record them into the M8 with a midi controller?

jamming to this in my spaceship!~~

That bassline is seriously funky. Cool sounds too smile

Up there w/ the best chiptune anthems, absolutely filled to the brim with ideas without sacrificing the flow. heart

this absolutely shreds! it's got a fantastic energy. 1:40 got me out the damn chair

yo this is sick! so many awesome funky melodies and basslines

i really the "messy" intense energy of this tune, its going for it and it succeeds with infectious grooves and killer leads

Thanks!!   All the leads/solos are manually input on m8.   There is no way I could play any of this stuff in real time.  But I want to try to hook up a midi controller or possibly a midi guitar to M8 eventually for jotting down chord ideas.   My keyboard skills are terrible but I’m decent with a guitar.

Thanks so much everyone for listening!  So far been having a blast with weeklybeats both writing stuff and listening to everyone’s great tunes!

Wow, what a jam.  So much cool stuff going on here.  Love the solo around 1:15 and the panned hats throughout.  Well done!

bouncy feeling! big_smile

It's a very nice mess

If I was at a show and heard this, I'd be dancing, but then at 1:40, that melody line would make me lose my mind and start screaming!!!

God I LOVE this BASS! Great groove all around. Just love that swing at that tempo.
