woah what magic is creating that nice 8bit squelchiness?  Is that the VirSyn?  This would be great for playing "two dots" on my iPad   High five on the "last minute club"!  Nice job!

sounds good

sounds good :D

Well, the squelchy part comes from a bandpass filtered saw wave from microBrute's analog arsenal. Behind there are some Plogue's Chipsounds 8 bit arpeggios sidechained with the beat for pumping action. I put one vocoder modulating itself (same signal is the modulator and carrier) EQed above 440 hz with some filtered delay... Part of the signal goes to a smooth feedback loop through the SEND's reverb.

I've only had VirSyn Tera for a few hours, so I just messed with some FX presets to create some of the bubbling that you can hear in the breakdowns. Part of it is also vocoded, modulated twith the carrier.

I don't have your synth skills, so I tend to use a lot of FX chains to build evolving atmospheres from simple patches. Could get pretty messy, sometimes

wow, this sounds massive! Gorgeous pumping action and excellent use of fx. I like the "boxed" intro very much. At least it sounds very inspired to me!
You really can recommend the Tera? I thought about it but i've never could make friends with the other VirSyn synths i already have.

Hi Perplex On

I've just owned Tera for a few hours, but sounds quality is astounding. Interface is simple and clean, and although I haven't build my own patches yet, it's a virtual modular.

Yes, iOS Modular also debuted last week on the app store, but I wasn't confortable with it: basically lots of eye candy (kinda Pittsburg Modular faceplates) with almost no editable parameter (yu've got to go the "In-App Purchase" route in order to edit something... Meh!).

I can't talk about other VirSyn products, but at least this one seems very promising, and it's half price due tu launch. You're a more experienced iOS producer, but I think I'll recommend you to have a good look at it.

Thanks for listening, by the way

I'm all for the reverby arp-ed synth and those drums are nice! Short and sweet and a little scary. Well done

Sounds very good, your cheap tricks are obviously of a much higher quality than most people's!

This is fierce! Awesome sounds in here and I love when those drums kick in. Well done!

oh my! just when I thought he can't top the last one, another badass track

Hey Guys, thank you all! I really felt this one was a total miss... Glad somebody is actually enjoying it. I'm kinda starting to like it after a few days without hearing it.

Guess it's hard to be fair with our own material

Thanks, mate! I'm really diggin' your 80's stuff lately

Never thought about this one as scary or even spooky ... Although it's like a "haunted" project: I lost the original project because I was so tired that I actually never saved any changes, just rendered the track and exited "Without Saving Changes. Are you Sure? Yes I'm Sure"... I built a second rendition of it, but the bass was played live and now my other version sounds somewhat different

Thanks again for listening, man! Looking forward for your new stuff this week

Hey, Dreikelvin! Thanks a lot, man! Means a lot to me. As you can read above, I was initially very dissapointed with this one. This positive feedback keeps me trying harder every time

Are you making any more wonderful chiptunes soon?
