Project 5

In this project we were asked to use the Poizone channel to create our own sound. I decided to start with a melody as I often to and work off of that. I begun by creating something that sounded to me like a funk piano I had heard once in a Fred Wesley recording of Chameleon. From there it took on a life of it's own. I started by placing the balance for my OSC at a 50-50%. From there I turned both up A and B and opped a pulse button on B. I decided to try it after a talk with Mr. Rabuse about square waves. I ended up liking the sound. After that I turn the chorus on and set the filter to HP. It gave the melody a higher sound than the bass I was going to create. After some goofing around I found out that my keyboard's modulator was hooked up to the cut off filter, so beign the rascal that I am I decided to record a filter for the melody and liked it. In stead of creating a whole new bass, I took the original pattern from the begginging of the song, dropped it an octave and set the filter on BP. I also turned down the cutoff and turned down the chorus a bit. The beat is very simple, just a good bass kick and some simple high hat. I wanna say this one's my favorite, but I keep saying that every time! It's only uphill from here. Forgive me if I got a little cutoff crazy Enjoy
