Bends and Slides

By doomscrolling on January 11, 2026 11:05 pm

A bit of a goofy melody workout this week. This one was a real treat for me, taught me a lot about sequencing on the m8

Honorable mention to the PBN (pitch bend) effect - had a little too much fun with that one tongue

Shout out to Paul Baul Naulbert (PBN) for contributions here. All the bends make this sound so much more fun than it already is by chord & melody alone. Great fun energy, ty for this. The backbeat stabby chords rule.

A treat for you and me and every one of us.

Dude, these bendy notes are just SO fun!!! Amazing!!! I'm super envious you were able to make something that's so fun! Great job!

Nice to hear something that makes you smile!

No such thing as too much PBN. Into it! It's lighthearted, confident, playful, unbothered. Very nice job!

PBN-lovers unite―this melodic lead rules!

The lead melody is amazingly lovely and the arrangement top notch - love it!

This popped up again in the playlist, and I still love it. 

If tracking on the M8 resulted in PSN-style trophies, this track would get you the "Pitchbender" one for sure.

Delighful bendies! Ooh ooh try having fun with portmento next!

this bends!

That was a lot of fun, head was bobbing the whole track.  Bend everything!


wheeee!!!

Great energy on this track!

You make me want to bend the notes. But I shall not for I fear I may bend them too far and break them. Very fun little track. Melody is super stuck in my head.

Love the bendy bits to death. This is what the kids call a bop!

Oh yeah. This is a sick track! Love the whole groove and the way you leverage the pitch bends and slides in a way that really feels right. I dig how this is chiptune adjacent but not chiptune. Great work!

Super catchy! I really like the melodies in this one. Very funky rhythmically too!

True to the name! Slipping and sliding in all the best directions. The bends really make the melody, so much fun.

Haha great silly concept and amazingly it actually came out as a cool song too!

This is beautiful wholesome fun

The lead is stealing the show, but that chorus of chords is so rich strong, well built

This is pure fun. Great work. Great sounds.

I like dat 'lectric twang!
