Project 7

This project involves two synths and drums. The main syn is low enough to give the song the bass sound, but it is actually not a bass. The second syn is much higher sounding and only plays key notes, not full fledged patterns.

The main synth has delay and reverb on, but not too much that it overpowers the basic sound. I started out with the default and ran it through filter one. Operator one is in a saw syn wave, while op two is a tempered square synth. This syn is the one playing the riffs.

The second synth plays basic parts and has a more basic sound. It has reverb on but no delay. For this one i also started with default and created a sqare wave in operator 1. It sounds bad but i found out once i click the "pluck" box in the operator menu it gave it a nice sound that i thought worked with the song.

The song itself is just simple parts. The verse is just a combination of D and F notes, while the chorus climbs up notes. The bass drums follow the same pattern as the notes are strummed and have a fill at the end of each. The sound goes to an interlude where the bass drum plays a simple sounding marching groove with bass drum on all fours. The second synth plays along with it while the main synth just holds out a note.

The main synth then plays the same pattern as the second synth. A drum roll brings the song back to the chorus, then the song ends on a hit on beat one and drags out the rest of the measure. This makes the song ABABCB for a basic form, but really ABABCDEFBG if you count each new part as its own little section.
