What is each instrument doing?
M8 plays prerecorded nanoloop fm loops, sequences drums, the only M8 non-sampler instrument is the obnoxious bass that plays during the obnoxious lead part. The lead is the MicroFreak, I didn't have any plan, just wanted to use the Karplus mode to make something neat. M8 sequences the MF & generates all other sounds. The MF goes into Condor (static setting from the pic) and MOOD. With MOOD, I wanted to use the delay effect which (in presence of SLIP and REVERB seems less exciting) -- so I kinda tweaked it to sound like a plate verb-thang and rode the feedback while recording. The weird slow-down effect at the end of the chorus is just moving the clock after maxing out feedback. (Ping me in M8 or WB discords if any clarification needed.)

that microfreak looks like so much fun
Of all the gear I own, I don't think there's another synth I would recommend as readily (the other is the M8, but that's not really just a synth) because it's immediate, silly, unassuming, and fun. Childlike & gritty, delightful machine.
Aw, jeez, thanks, seeing the file name in the reply gave your comment a whole new depth!

mesmerizing piece, top notch in every way.
Oh jeez, man, kindest words, and sincerely appreciate it. Been enjoying your work, will hopefully dip my hand into something more thoroughly honestly chip tune this year!

I played this song for my rats <3
I love rats (and, really, most animals, with a slight preference to furry mammals, but everyone can hang), hope they weren't stressed by it.

Trippy! Lots of interesting intricacies.
Thank you -- interesting is a word that I'm often afraid of, but I'll take "trippy"

Haha, orangedrink. No, YOU'RE Arca.
Seriously great first WB! The Microfreak is so cool, we have 4 in our library because @drum bender has excellent taste. I recommend it to all our synth newbies. Such great presets but also fun to program. Instant cool.
Shout out to @n_ronvaldez for donating an M8 to MusicLandria, I hope a lot of folks make a lot of cool music with it!

Oops I didn't mean to suggest that you're a synth newbie because obviously you know a lot about synths! I'm a synth newbie
an fresh mixture of experimental glitchy electro and dub. I like this very much. Found the MOOD in the picture. I use it in my effectchain too.
