KORDO

Started this weeks track by playing with some macrosynths on the m8. I made a panning plucked instrument and a very muffled triple saw that drives the main synth sounds through the song. The remainder of the instruments were taken/modified from existing instruments I had on my m8:

  • The kick, hat, and rimshot are slightly modified versions of instruments form the DW01 Synthdrums pack.

  • The loud FM synth that comes in towards the end is the BIGANALOG instrument that was on the stock SD card

  • The bell that rings towards the second half is BELL03 from the tobokegao m8 instrument pack


I also ended up mixing this and adding a few effects in reaper (Vallhalla Supermassive on the muffled triple saw, and a bunch of other effects to give it some more depth). Its a bit chaotic, but I think it hold up.

Any and all feedback is appreciated!

Since the plucked macrosynth was the main driver of the track, I called it KORDO, the Esperanto word for string. And since I focused so much on strings... here's a macro shot of an guitar string:
