Awsome really. Puts me in a. Trippy relaxed. Mood Flow. With momrntum

[@WiredSpaceWizard]

A wonderfully chill piece! Nicely done!

[@SidBarnhoorn]

Excellent, Alastair! :)

[@MyriadDubstep]

Beautiful work man, are you programming these sequences manually or are they fully generative? Love it

[@AlastairWilsonMusic]

Thanks! I consider my music 'semi-self-generated' - I always have a sequence manually programmed, but then I modulate everything and add randomness on top until it's barely recognisable as being manually programmed. Tends to end up being a nice balance between too chaotic and too repetitive :)

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

Oh yes very nice, some wonderful textures, good tempo and the slowing down and speeding up of it is great. May be a dumb question but how are you controlling the bpm like that?

[@AlastairWilsonMusic]

The M32 has the option to either use the Tempo input for modulating the internal tempo, or as in input for an external clock. Here, I'm modulating the tempo with a random source from the URA :)

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

Thanks Alistair time to experiment.

[@flleeppyy9959]

It sounds like a pitch envelope for those tiny little plucks, getting that amazing dripping sound i.imgur.com/AmIy55I.png probably not, but it very much makes me think of that.

[@AlastairWilsonMusic]

There's a bit of glide between the notes, that's probably what you're hearing - no envelopes involved!

[@flleeppyy9959]

@@AlastairWilsonMusic Ohhhhh! thats even cooler!

[@VictorSteiner]

Could you do a how to just with the self-generating part of your patches you have come up with yet? It‘s what I‘m really struggling with.

[@AlastairWilsonMusic]

Send me a message on my Facebook page - currently I have no plans to do a tutorial video, but I'm happy to talk you through it!

[@juginst4174]

Do you usually use some compressor/equalizer for processing of the final track?

[@AlastairWilsonMusic]

Yes, but not much - perhaps a couple dB of EQ shelving, and usually some multiband compression to tame any resonances that stand out.

[@badnewshooty9728]

Why are the bandcamp versions 20 minutes and the YT ones 30?

[@AlastairWilsonMusic]

Bandcamp limits upload file sizes to start with, so I had to stick to 20 min. Now I just keep it at 20 for consistency
