Quite happy with this one as it's a one take performance using a sound I built from scratch in Falcon.  The sound is comprised of 2 layers and each layer has two voices.  I did the performance into Ableton using the OP-1 Field as a bluetooth midi controller and it's only two octaves so the performance includes shifting up and down octaves on the OP-1 Field. 

Once I captured the performance, I did do one automation pass over using a filter on each layer which is all contained within the Falcon patch still with those custom macros assigned to 2 separate knobs on the OP-1 Filed to tweak in real time.

So yes, a large portion of the process was creating this custom patch (whilst sitting on the lounge) but so highly rewarding plus it's a sound I can also pull up for later use now..

It's amazing how complete the piece feels as it's only a solitary midi track with zero effects from the DAW apart from mastering.
