Just a quick one for now. I have quite a few different takes while feeling this one out, and interrupted by a cold. I thought I blew my ear out, but it was just sinuses. I’m happily on the mend now, so here’s the newest and my messiest one. I’ll revisit the others before posting.
1 pattern, messing with mutes.
pseudo side-chain on the FX track for kicks.
Loving the last one! Any chance for a sysex, to see how it was made? oh NVM saw your reply…
Both the bass and drone sounds are basically doubled. There’s variation, but the overlap is just in-phase loudness pushed into the FX track. Then the two melodic lines harmonizing, doing close to the same as doubling.
I kept loosing loudness when I’d find certain sweet spots, and I think this first pass was an attempt at making up for the loss.
@jm2c @marccc The patterns you asked about are E05 (and E13) in the project file. The sysex files are just the two patterns in separate files, .syx format.

Dampened, foggy chords.
1 track for bass, the rest for the chords. Two patterns.
Tried to get a "swirly sound with:
Sounds lovely. Also sounds like a pain to program though 
@marccc Thanks. If you ever find the time to join in the Labs, you’re most welcome. I’m a fan of your music, would be great to hear what you come up with 
@Oxenholme Thanks. Not really I used all eight tracks, so it was just a matter of copying the sound from one track to the rest, and choosing the pitches for each track. Then the 8 upper track buttons basically function as a keyboard. The pattern was recorded by playing the buttons in real time. On the second pattern I p-locked a couple of note values but that was it. Any sound changes were made with Ctrl-all. The most time consuming thing was p-locking the bass note lengths to avoid clicking.
Ah, yeah that’s pretty evident of course. Need more coffee 
Running a little empty on PC Carbon, so this is the last one from me.
This was mostly about the sound design. Musically it’s a repitition of the minmal techno from my previous posts.
Man, you’re so good at sound design! At some point, I want to get back into my ST. I’ve written at least 100 ‘songs’ on mine, but not in awhile. DN2 took my attention away and lately, Tonverk, but at some point I’ll break out the ST standalone and start digging
Thanks! 
So many nice toys, so little time… Between those three boxes, I fully understand that it’s hard to choose 
loving some of the sounds in the second one!
Loving all the sound of both…!
Especially at 1:21 on the 1st one , I like a lot how the sounds drift!
Great dynamic! Spirit of arcade racing soundtracks resurrect in this track, or some clingerwinger stage memories from battletoads.
Ghosty flavor of first track is strong.
All three are great!
@jm2c @user831299695 @agentapple Thanks peeps! And btw, it’s nice to see you around here again
Should I use FM carbon only for any of 8 tracks I want to involve in my composition? Say, all drums for composition be synthesized in Carbon too?
Thank you!
Hey! Yes, that’s correct. Only use PC Carbon on all eight tracks
While I’m hanging out mostly in “that other place” nowadays, that one hosted by another Nils (unless it’s you? heheh), I still lurk around here, keeping up with all the SSL’s…
