Here is a new electronic track, created out of the same experiments that created A Walk in The Garden. I tried to create depth and space so headphones are suggested.
I love it! Very creative use of delay(s)! Serene at times, pulsating and alerting in places, the bells and the arps too! It sounds great through my ZSN ChiFi's...hehe, the lows and the crisp percussion. Maybe the next iteration could be 'over the garden wall'?
Thank you, spyroks! The theme is kind of peaceful but I tried to build tension with instrumentation and percussion, then it falls off a cliff into a second scene with no melody at all. Appreciate your listening.
Really nice. I particulary like the paned arpeggios, they give the impression that they move in a circular fashion. Would you mind sharing the caustic file?
Hi Pan65, I attached the caustic file. Some of the arpeggio panned effect was purposefully created in the modulars but I will admit that adding FX on top of that certainly increased the effect. Pay attention to the to Modulars, Arp and ArpMod. They play the same patterns but the panning gets turned into spaghetti. You could play with everything else muted to see how they sound.
On the ArpMod modular, I split a mono signal from machine input into 3 streams, each feeds a pan module controlled by its own MiniLFO. The LFOs are set to different rates. The Left and Right outputs of the 3 pan modules are mixed down to feed the Left and Right outputs of the modular.
This gives me an idea. Actually I already have a finished theme using the effect, don’t know if I can make a full song out of it though. So how I go about is quite simple but requires a lot of work…
Draw in automation for the pan knob in a sinus’ish shape. It should move fast at the edges and slow in center.
Do the same with amplitude (volume) but shift the phase 90 degrees. That make the sound move forward and backward in the mix.
Follow up with reverb wetness, to give the illusion of space you want more reverb the further back the sound is in the mix.
You can enhance the effect further by automating a lowpass filter to make the sound a little dull when its far away and more crisp when its up front.
When listening in headphones it sounds like its spinning around your head. Hope I can finish my little experiment, make it interesting enough that is.

Thanks, i created a similar effect years ago with pan and volume automation. I'll have a look at your file to see your approach.
