Batted In The Face

By orbit_normal on February 12, 2026 6:10 am

Decided to focus on tweaking the sound of each voice throughout the song instead of just re-using the same voice throughout a track without modifying it. Basically I used the FX lanes on the m8 more. I also experimented a lot with the FM synth on the m8. I recreated some patches I found for Dexed.

I picked up an rk006 and have been having a blast connecting the m8 to all my little desktop synths. There is one external synth on this track, but it's mostly m8 instruments. Super excited to try sampling external synths next week!

The title is because my cat batted me in the face. She was really pissed that I was ignoring her while I was writing this.

I love that modulated attack on that arp. Some really awesome sound design here!

Cool sound design! Subtle track with just enough growl and some nice evolution as it goes.
I'm lucky (?) that my cats don't really hit, they just figure out what I'm working on and sit on it so I have to pay attention to them.
