EEEEE

By MRDRCAT on September 13, 2024 2:18 am

100% Dirtywave M8 (still), 100% original patches, 100% Wavesynth.
I wanted to see what happened if I just started everything from scratch. The title is a nod to 5 instruments at once all playing an E with very little variation until I slowly start changing things. It came together quickly, about 2.5 hours, with another hour of tweaking and fiddling, during which I added a key change (I know, scandalous).
It's yet another one of my formulaic, kind of fatiguing, simple happy things, but I hope one of the better attempts.

Infectious head bobbing!

Great tones! Liked the EEEEE as a launch point, and how it was a slow evolution to all the bouncy, happy goodness. The break at 2:00 was perfect, and that key change was a great add (even if I did clutch my pearls upon hearing it). The sustained tone at 2:13 was almost like an eeeeeEEEEEEEEEE coming back into it. So fun.

Wasn't paying much attention to Wavesynth. I have to.

Sorry about your pearls! I really have no idea what I'm doing, so this one was like "oh that sounds different, so I suppose it stays in." The M8's Wavesynth is full of fun potential - I might do another 100%er soon!

It was already my go-to for building stuff from scratch, and then Tim added all those wavetables and I never want to leave.

I quite like that bass sound that starts the track.

Nice build up. You really find a way to keep things interesting.

Could not agree more, this sounds awesome! The buildup from the simple EEEEE beginning is so cool, that is great!!!

The key change also sounded REALLY good, big fan.

And please, do not apologize for making music that makes me happy, hahahaha...

Congrats on the all WAVSYNTH tune, this rocks!

Thank you! I'm working on ways to keep my simple compositions moving and changing - some days with more success than others. I'm glad you like the bass patch! I'm not a very strong sound designer, but the more I force myself to do it, the better I should become. I waskinda happy with this one!

Hee hee thanks! And of course the jam challenge is to use all 1 synth engine. I missed it by a week! It might be my obsession with classic & power pop, but I have a massive soft spot for upbeat happy stuff. It's my goal to some day craft a ridiculously bouncy earworm. Hopefully I get closer with every attempt!
