It always begins with a start...

...and ends with a fade

A slow start, but slow and steady wins the race I guess? Trying to use some of the plugins I bought last year for now, but do expect a lot of hardware jams on this page for 2024!

Woop woop! Le premier son, le genre de pad, c'est tu du bitcrush qui donne cette texture là?

Yep c'est modalics bitfuzzer sur plogue chipsynth portafm

nice mix on this one!  Slow and steady you know it, tasty drones too.

nice acid! love the unsettling lead synth smile

really nice vibe

Sounds good to me, I'm always down for dark desert acid

Oooohhhh, this is so interesting! It feels like a darker and slower take on acid edm. I'm here for it! Darker and more introspective! And the melody at 1:20 is just chef's kiss, hahahaha... Really reminds me of prince of Persia!

Ohhhhhh we back!  Renoise FTW :-)  Got m' head nodding!

Nicely psychedelic. Reminds me of an acid version of Prince of Persia once the melody hits.

Slow acid, my favorite genre! Really nice vibes smile

Slow acid, indeed the best genre!

Lentement mais surement, c'est la tortue qui fini par gagner...

J'aime beaucoup la petite mélodie vers la fin avec le synth qui wave a lot.

Let's GO!

Monday afternoon acid drop, trip engaged!

Joli buildup sur ce morceau! Cette ligne melodique qui traverse tout le morceau ajoute de la cohesion et donne l'impression qu'on fait un voyage a travers un monde etrange. La melodie supplementaire a parti de 1:17 est vraiment cool - le son est a priori simple mais marche vraiment bien dans ce contexte.

C'est bien de voir plus de monde base sur Tokyo!

Love the combination of slow acid and exotic melody!

Yess, I'm with this "slow acid" as someone said above. Gotta slow things down a little sometimes. Dig the melody that comes in - it's all painting some pictures for me. A spy chase on a canal, at night.

Very good.


some really great sounding hardware! happy 2024!

i like the part that sounds like it goes bwwooowwowwwwww

That is indeed my favourite part of the FM sound big_smile

Welcome back for another round, XC3N

Good taste on the acid and plugin side...been a Phoscyon user for years, yet I still have to do the switch to the MK 2 edition.

Extra props for Renoise. Please make some noise!

At first I only got it because the original UI for all their Roland emulation is waaay too tiny on high rez monitors. But I have to say the new features are entirely worth it!

Love the C2032 powered spooky Halloween toy lead synth vibe, I'm burying the lead of the badass patient acid techno, very cool, make it longer heh!
