Lovely. Gosh those keys are warm and mellow, I'm always hesitant on the Komplete update mostly cuz of cost but also because omg choice paralysis lol. This is really fun, such a chill and concise mood, just awesome.

love the trip hop vibes that the bass and drums bring to the main melody.  That pad in the background sounds so soothing too, oof! Excellent laid back chill feels throughout.

drums are sounding great, love the ghost notes/snare rolls. nice layers and melodies throughout

Well, in my experience you are a very fine example of a human person... so I hope the track helped you to remember that d(>_･ )

Yeah I get that.  The way I handle the choice paralysis is to dedicate time specifically to just playing through presets and patches... where the only goal is just to familiarize myself with options and "favorite" patches.  Then for most of my projects I figure out the pallet in a separate session from when I do the composition to avoid stifling the creativity in the moment by spending an hour flipping through 200 presets or whatever.  So then when I'm composing, or I have all the sounds to hand already, and when I'm like... "you know what this needs some synthy string type sounds", I can filter by "type" and "character" and only look at favorites, and instead of 200 choices I have like 5... but this is also coming from someone who's happy to spend three weeks building out a modular patch a couple hours a day, so that I can record one track with it before I tear it down and start over... like the fiddling and fussing with sounds is kind of my favorite part, and I get that you have to be a special kind of broken to be happy spending several hours, flipping through thousands of presets just to bookmark like 10 of them... so... not for everybody.

Thanks, that pad is from Glaze 2 I think... and honestly, I like Glaze 2 a LOT more than the original. Like Pharlight, it's an instrument built from vocal samples, but the first one most to the patches felt a little... gimicy maybe... like just not super useful (for me) outside of the context of a very specific grouping of pop type tracks.  But the second one just feels like they made more general purpose type instruments that happen to be made from vocals. 

Thanks, I was worried that I got a little carried away with snare rolls, so I'm glad you like how it turned out.
