Project 5 Riff Machine

To start this project, I found a sound called "short 6" that I liked and created a riff out of it with a progression that sounded good with it. Once I had my riff I added in some more sounds as the song went on. First I added in some bass, and after while I added some toms and claps and a snare to go along with it. Then I added a bell sound because I felt it was a nice contradiction and sounded good. I also added a sound called "icy" to give it some more tempo. I concluded with a set of claps and a fade out with the original riff pattern I found.

Project 4 Filters

I started this project by creating a chopped slayer pattern and adding an FPC called Upbeatgroove 11. For the first four beats I layered these two over each other and for the last four beats, I transposed the slayer pattern and set it on a new note. Then I added my fruity filter and set my band pass, high pass, low pass, resonance, and cutoff frequency controls to a sound that I liked. Then I added a synth bass so that I could record it and change the sound in the X-Y controller and that was the final touch to my project.
