what you doing here

[@zackyzackyzacky1]

Making the note resolution incredibly small to the point where it generates synth tones and using Midi velocity as sidechain is actually genius. EDIT: I was just trying to compliment Virtual Riot's artistry, but people want to nitpick my choice of words (I called him a genius) because apparently other artists have done this before.

venetian snares did it in 2003

[@auxzilla5495]

im gonna have to call this out. that isn't "genius" but he is very creative for doing what he did. it just seems like you wanted to stroke your own ego by showing others your knowledge of music but tried to poise it in a "humble" way. not buying it...
