ADSR (Project 6)

For this project I used Poizone, FPC, and FL Slayer. I made a synth using the ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) envelope in Poizone.I moved the attack to a little bit under the halfway mark to give each note a quick attack. I moved the decay all the way down to make each note decay very fast. I set the sustain and release in the middle. I used FPC for a drum loop. I used the Bass Punch preset in FL Slayer for a bass. I used the riff machine with the synth and wrote the bass in piano roll to go with the synth. I used an automation clip to fade the bass in and out.

Poizone (Project 5)

In this project i created my own synth using Poizone. First I mixed Oscillators A and B at 50%. I then played around with the knobs in both oscillators until i found a sound that i liked. I liked Oscillator B's sound a little better so I turned the balance a little bit more towards B. I changed both oscillators from saw waves to pulse waves to make it sound softer. Then I started tweaking knobs in the Filter section. i turned the cutoff to 65% and the Resonance to 0%. I created the beat by writing it in the piano roll and made a few patterns that were slightly different from each other to make it less repetitive. I added two drum loops using FPC and ended the song without using drums at the end.

Mixer, Filters, & XY Controller (Project 4)

For this project i made it fast and upbeat. I made it kind of rock and roll sounding. I made this using the mixer, filters and the XY controller with automation clips. I used FL Slayer to make the bass and guitar clips and automated them with cutoff filters. I used 3Xosc to make a beat which i used to the XY controller to control the filters for it with in the mixer.

Automation (Project 3)

For project 3 i used the chop tool with SimSynth to make a high upbeat sound. I used FPC to make a drum loop. And i used Poizone so make a wobbly bass. I made an automation clip for the SVF on SimSynth to change the cutoff throughout the song. I made another automation clip so the the SVF emphasis for SimSynth to change the pitch throught the song. And i made a master volume automation clip to fade out at the end.

Chopping (Project 2)

This is my chopping project. It involves the chop and transpose tools. I made an upbeat house style song. I added channels for SimSynth to make the synth sounds, BooBass to make the bass sounds, and FPC to make the drum loop. I opened the SimSynth and BooBass sounds in the piano roll and chopped and transposed them. In the beginning, middle, and end i put in some snares and crashes to add some zing.

Drum Loop (Project 1)

This is my drum loop project. I made two drum patterns separated by a filler. My first pattern has more hi-hat sounds and a sidestick as to where my second pattern has more snare sounds and a deeper kick. My filler is alot of fast snares leading up to a crash. In my first pattern i used a layer to make kicks. The loop ends with a crash.
