Project 3

For this project I used the SimSynth channel and the chopping tool to create my melody. In pattern one I used the pattern I had chopped for me, and put an automation clip on the Cutoff setting. I like the clip so much that I decided to experiment with other automation clips as well. I put an automation clip on the envelope setting for patterns one and two. On pattern three I used a clip on the master volume to fade out on the major triad chord at the end. On the melody, I decided that sticking with one basic pattern would better suite the song. So on pattern two, I made the melody rise up an octave. In pattern three, I dropped back to the original pitch and ascended up the Major scale. Enjoy.

Project 2

I feel like this is still a work in progress, and without much time left in class I'll have to post more about it later. But I'm very proud of this project. I was inspired by Stephen King's "It". I found that the creepy carnival sounded really sweet with the Autogun channel. I used the looped murmer setting for the organ effect. I liked how it made the line sound dark and mysterious. I then used the Chord setting from Autogun to create the background line which used a very basic pattern to epmphasize the beats at the beggining of each phrase.
