8 Bit Glide

All sounds from the synthstrom deluge.
I really liked this 8 bit patch that became the main chorus lead.
Enjoy!

really nice PWM lead, gorgeous drums too! love the chord switchup around 3:30
Wow this is great. That melody at 1:18 is melting. Beat is great and just the right character for the track without being too much or too little.
Don't post this on reddit on the thread "Talk me out of buying the Deluge". Or do? 
This is great! It sounds like background music for hanging out in a graffiti-covered space station with your best alien friends. I've heard the onboard synths on the Deluge aren't very good, but you certainly wouldn't know it from this.
It's week 3, and I'm starting to recognize SQF grooves by their quality.
The lead in the chorus at 1:12 & 2:51 sounds beautiful (and massive). It was a surprise to hear a new section starting as late as 03:36, and it made perfect sense when both sections joined up again.
The glides are craaazy. Love the swinging/dragging feel and overall vibe, and the shift at 3:30 was sick, as others have mentioned.

Appreciate it. Love it when experimental parts meet up to make a perfect transition.

Hey thanks! I think the reputation is the presets aren't amazing and don't showcase whats possible. Some of these are boards of deluge pack sounds which wow that guy does some fantastic sound design with the deluge.

Oh hot damn! hopefully I can keep up with the reputation I've built. I'm hitting you with something different soon via the M8, stay tuned!
I really struggled with arrangement on this one so I made the late call to switch sections. I guess surprise counts for something!

Thanks! Appreciate the listen and kind words!
Fantastic drums, such a fun track, this definitely glides and slides, gets you moving
Yeah, everyone else already recognized but the drums punch perfectly. The glidey feel of this track is rad.
The drums and bass really drive this forward in a lovely laid back funky way. The first lead really sets the scene then the glidey chippy lead gives it a whole new angle that works really well!
i keep coming back to this one (and your other tracks), they are just really nice to listen to. i enjoy all the sections connecting and indeed gliding together, really fun. (and with some luck i'll join deluge club soon.)
Oh hell yeah, this is awesome. Don't think I've ever heard 8bit porto before, so cool. Nice bridge too, didn't see that coming.
