Revenge of the AI Presets

By XC3N on February 11, 2024 8:11 pm

Welcome back! This week, Softube's SH-101 plugin was 80% off so I bought it and used it for the main bassline and added a ghostly DX7 pad. I used a bit of AI (Microtonic Patternarium/Beatspace.) to find and tune a cool beat quickly and added a 909 layer to make it less 'cheating'. I also found a cool ARP 2600 preset and tweaked it a bit. The bridge called for a whiny lead and I instantly reached for the MS20. Then I was like... been a while since I played guitar...

Rad cyberpunk track, really nice sound design, especially like the synths that come in at around 0:50. The guitar is a nice touch, needs more of it!

Cool "tekno" vibe on this one. I almost could feel the vinyl clothes and the oval fly-like tinted glasses. Punchy and fun!

Excellent thick synths and love when the beat kicks in.  Ala the main character flipped the switch on ass kickin mode.  That darker bassy pad gives it a sinister cyber punk feel fo sho.  Also really enjoyed hearing the ride cymbal come thru the soaring guitar lines.  Well done!

Exceptional. The patient tempo of the dynamic breakbeat, the various styles and melodies of synths, the composition and mix.  The vibe is hopeless cyberpunk-industrial-post-apocalyptic-Saharan wasteland, keep doing this!
