Poizone 3: Finished!

After making a slightly more complex drum loop (because 4 consistent kicks does get boring after awhile), compressing the drum loop, and compressing the entire piece itself it's finished. As mentioned before, gross beat was used in this project with three different variations on my melody (using variation patterns 3, 4, and 11). Four or five automation clips were used throughout the piece, namely on the 'cycle' synth, the kicks, and the 2nd bass line. The LFO was used on all of my synths and is clearly noticeable on my 'cycle' synth. It is hard to hear on the other synths due to the Gross beat and only slight changes in the lfo modulation. My main inspiration for this peice was Daft Punk's Derezzed. Somewhere along the way, gross beat was added into their song and was used multiple times throughout. Whether or not they use FL studio entirely is unclear. Nevertheless, Enjoy!

Poizone 3: Nearly Finished

This project is rapidly nearing its final verison. I've extended the ending greatly with a new bassline. Towards the end of the song, I cut the two basslines down (each with progressing parts) and alternated them with eachother. This almost switches the focus of the song off of my melody accompanied with gross beat to the alternating bassline, which I find to be a cool affect. There are still some balancing issues, and I still want to throw in some effects to my peice, but as always enjoy!

EDIT: For some reason the sound cuts out at around 39 Seconds before my second bass synth kicks in. Not sure of why but this will be fixed in the final version.

Poizone 3: Sample

After a week and a half of working my project has certainly grown. I have changed around the C to Bb bass line so that the LFO A and B Oscillators with alternate giving it a subtle wobble effect. My melodic riff is still the same. However, (correcting what I wrote in my last post) it is actually a C to D# to F back to D# to G melody. I have left the intro "motorcycle" rift the same but have added a volume automation clip. With it, I have made the motorcycle synth sound as if it is driving by you and driving away (crescendo and decrescendo). I still hope to expand on this peice after the final crescendo and am still experimenting with what to do next. Suggestions are always welcome and as always, enjoy!

Starting Poizone 3: LFO

With this project we must not only utilize the LFO and Envelope section of the Poizone plugin but also begin to use more chords, inversions, etc. At this point, I have 3 synths and am writing the melodies in Bb. One is a "motorcycle" sounding synth (thanks to successful use of the cutoff lfo)and will be used in my intro and as a breakdown synth throughout the project. My second synth is a deep bass with a slight oscillator a and b wobble, accompanied with a simple Bb to C melody. The third synth is going to be the main synth and is still a work in progress. I hope to bring it to the point where it will ride over the bassline with an alternating C to Eb To F melody. I'm also planning on using the plugin Gross Beat to change up some of the main synth from time to time. I plan on working on it throughout the rest of the weekend and putting out a sample early next week.
