A holiday song for my bunnies! Oscar bunny is recovering from some health issues, but we think he'll be healed by Christmas!
I was surprised I could make a halfway decent sleigh-bell patch with a single Sytrus instance!

Those bells are impressive!

And this is a very sweet song. Good work!

Those bells are really well done indeed. Maybe you can pitch them up a touch, but it's accurate. I suppose the owl is Sytrus too?

Thanks! Sytrus doesn't have a lot of options for changing the length of envelopes within the patch itself, but luckily the unison feature has randomize envelope length function that I was able to use to get the effect. I thought I was going to have to make a custom Patcher patch to trigger many instances of Sytrus, this was way easier!

I agree, I used a recording for reference, which it's pretty close to, but I also wanted to keep it in tune with the melody, but this won't be the last of the bells this year!

The owl, and 39 tracks this year is 100% Sytrus! (the owl actually came from AbraCadávera but is a holiday owl now!)

Absolutely loving this mellow sound! Those sleigh bells are fantastic; I’ll have to pick apart your patch sometime. Nice work dude!!!

What a sweet cute track, and another demonstration of sytrus magic. Making stones weep!

It's really not that complicated, and there isn't any frequency modulation going on, just good use of envelope tricks and unison!

Aww thanks! I tried really hard for it to not be completely depressing, as Oscar is having a rough time. But we think he's getting better!

Awww so sad! But don't worry, we are taking good care of the bun, he's getting better every day!

Beautiful and somber seasonal sounds.  Maybe we are all Oscar this year.    I thought I heard an owl hooting outside the window in the middle and end.  That can be good for Oscar's psyche.  Hopefully it was a turtle dove cooing smile. Wishing your bunny a speedy and full recovery!

Oh dang! Good point! I should have used my dove patch... Oops! Wish all the animals could be friends!
Oscar is getting better though! He's one tough bun!

A very cute and adorable bunny christmas track! I hope oscar is feeling a bit better already!

He's doing great! Very happy, eating well, and running around! Still needs to get used to his changed leg, but it doesn't seem to stop him!

Oh what bun it is to ride in a bun-horse open sleigh.
Hope your bunny's been recovering okay!
