Really liked this track, the pads are beautiful. One tiny suggestion: increase the levels a bit, it's rather quiet and the weeklybeats player doesn't have a volume control!

Thank you very much! And yes, that's a good tip with the levels. I admit I wasn't really thinking of that til now (other than worrying they're too hot) so I will find and aim for a loudness goal of some sort. -3 LUFs, right?

It does feel emotional. Very charming and relaxing. Feelings of "safety" i guess

I love the sound design on the pad and the way the voices weave together

Greetings, fellow FM nerd! I dig the lush sounds.

They did just release Opsix as a module! I used the plugin version this week myself.

Yeah it's kind of weird how that happened so soon after I did my kit, it must have been in the works for a while. It's such a great sounding synth!

I wish I could take credit for the sound design but I will just take credit for my excellent preset selection

Thank you so much

Second the lushness of the pads.  How is it, putting together a project like this on the smpltrek?

The SmplTrek is really nice for recording and playing back loops, though it gets a bit tricky when I'm trying to queue and stop tracks while also using the pads to play something in live I didn't use scenes for this at all, if I had taken the time to pre-earrange it really would have gone smoother for me

My smpltrek lingo is a bit rusty—does not using scenes mean this was entirely done on those 3 global tracks?  Or is a scene like a song row on M8/LSDJ?

A scene is a collection of tracks, like a song row on M8 if you were bound to only the tracks in that row. Have you ever used Gadget? It reminds me a lot of that

I did this with just one track per instrument and some quick finger work to mute/change parameters and jumping in and out of the track actively controlling the Opsix (so I could play in live). So it's a jam dressed up a song
