    Would love to see a video going into greater depth on how you made some of the patches in this video. Particularly the 1st pad and 1st lead patches.
    Or honestly any grandmother videos. You’re a huge inspiration keep it up.

    • @onceuponasynth
      @onceuponasynth  6 років тому +1

      The GM is cool cause it has USB MIDI so it doubles as a MIDI controller too. But using hardware synths is definitely more time consuming. I spent a lot of time making new tracks, routing MIDI and tracking audio (which I edited out of the video). I work much faster with soft synths. But hardware synths are nice to add occasional layers here and there.
