Mmmm love that fat synth.  Nice job piecing together the percussion, it sounds great.  Good composition, lots going on to keep it from getting stale.  I dig the ending as well.

Très fun. Encore du bon boulot.

Nice man, this is super cool.  The stereo delay bouncing around give this a really lively feel, and those ascending and descending lead-in lines give this thing so much drive.  Such a feel good tune man, love it.

Random, but this track strikes me as perfect for a super nintendo racing game "night time in a vaguely tropical setting" level. Awesome work as always.

Damn, love the growl of the VL-Tone and the ticky ticky tock percussion.  Great sounds!  I actually have a VL-Tone.  But never got it sounding this rad!  Now itching to break it out again.  I really like this different direction and how you switched things up this week.  I would not have recognized this as one of your tracks, and your work holds up in a different style. Love the anagram title, too.

Ohh interesting to hear you do something more energetic. I like how you blended a classic uplifting classic trance prog with your sound design, it sounds great.

Another banger! Great job

I think I want to have a go writing something like this, it seems pretty fun.

Super casio tonez! Fond memories of old casios. Good times, I like the bass.aWas seeing Knight Rider for a minute. Maybe Kit on a happy car date. Thanks for linking to that sample pack, I'll check that out, good sounds here!

Hehe thank you! And same here, my first synthesizer growing up was the CA-100 with this phenomenal Rick Astley demo song

Many thanks! I like a fat bass The stock VL-Tone can't do that but repitching does wonder hehe

Cheers! Happy that it comes off as uplifting, I wasn't exactly sure of the emotions it would convey

Merci beaucoup! La semaine prochaine j'essaie du bon érable hehehe

Aah, thank you very much! I slathered the whole thing with different delays and pannings since 3 of the instruments are basically the same sound. If it sounds lively that's awesome as that's what I was attempting!

Thank you! I can totally picture it too, not so random

big thanks! I'm sold on the ticky ticky tock too, that's what made me want to use the VL-Tone! It was fun to attempt a different genre!

Thank you! I had two relatively smooth/relax weeks, I wanted to kick back into it with 128bpm and lots of energy I really enjoyed writing a trance progression, I really love composing melodies and trance is a good vehicule for that.

bang bang Thanks!

It's super fun, I recommend it! Layering melodies is always a good exercise and after 2 layers sometimes you can hear the next one forming in the reverbs/delays/interactions of the other two!

SK-1 also someone pick up that phone!

Many thanks! And definitely try the pack, it has the Casio SA-3 covered as well, which has a lot of classic CASIO sounds.

There are no vocalists, but the anagram is a nice touch. Guess it's a wash then, unlike the song, which is great.

I spend so much time thinking about synths I end up considering them as people

Impressive, I'd never heard of this little Casio, you made it sing alright! Nice job experimenting with something new, I think you could nail any electronic genre that you want

I've been wanting to midify my VL-Tone for ages. Maybe I could use the calculator via MIDI?

The "VL bass drum" is usually one of the first sounds I load into a sampler. So useful

Excellent work with such a limited palette of sounds. My personal 2 cents: try the MT-68 hihats (Goldbaby has a really excellent Casio/Yamaha comprehensive soundpack that's worth it's cheap price)

Thank you so much! Thanks also for the vote of confidence, I would like to try a few more styles before year's end, we will see if I can do them justice!

Many thanks! Using the calculator via MIDI would be pretty bonkers! hehehe

You're absolutely right, those hi-hats are amazing! I'm pretty sure Stereo Total used a MT-68 in their earlier stuff, that sound is just perfect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUR2PrEyqnU

Excellent use of the Casio sounds.  I really enjoyed the chip-trance feel it had especially on those climbing lead melodies.
