  • Electronic music is too robotic? Or is it a skill issue? Let's look at a cool way of adding organic flavour to your rhythmic synthesizers, using chordal polymeters.

    That's your most inspiring work yet. Gave me Moby vibes. Can we have a video on getting vocals for a track. I'm lacking confidence in doing my own vocals and a bit shy in sourcing from elsewhere. I love instrumentals but a small bit of voice can make a huge difference. For now I have limited myself to a limited phrases and chopped or rearranged them with effects.

    Input - velocity can do different things in every preset. Also with chords make sure you have poly voice above 3 for triad chords or poly voice 5 for 7th chords. Putting in work with this video. Thanks.
