Title: Harry's Orbit
Post by: Flash Harry on March 30, 2015, 05:30:37 PM
I have been getting to grips with the SparkLe that GAS forced me to buy last month. This is a bit of noodling to a sequence of patterns that I put together pretty simply with the Spark. Noodling was the Roland SH-201

The object of the exercise was to see how the Spark works with a DAW and how the master is produced from the instrument.

Not to everyone's taste I know, but this is a bit of trancey dance.

Harry's Orbit (I quite like a bit of Orbital) All I could think of was 'The X Files'....

Trance X-files.  I like it.

I got the first generation Arturia BeatStep, and you're inspiring me to pull it out again (after fits of frustration post-purchase).

Very cool post.

Blooby

p.s.-Did you folks see that Duchovny, Anderson, and Chris Carter have signed on for a mini-series of 8 more episodes of the X-Files?

I wonder if the software has been updated, the Spark and SparkLE are quite new and really very nice and the Arturia soft synths are great 

QuoteVery cool post.

thank you

Loved the X-Files and love this. Synthtastic and tranceful. There's a bit of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds in that lead synth tone too. Lots of nice variations and detail going on, and the mixing is lush and delicious. Fantastic.

I'm afraid... the X-Files reference is passing me by! :D

Cool track, I'm tapping my toes and getting my thang down...

And while we're talking about Gillian Anderson, I knew her half-sister... she's VERY English Rose... and plays a mean recorder (all sizes)... and she rather LIKED me... *sigh* (unfortunately, she was married to someone else)... I've got some songs about her somewhere...

Wow... This sounds great.
What in the devil is a Spark?
You seem to have a firm grasp of it.

Herbie Hancock meets X-Files meets Trans Europe Express...... on Ecstasy.  :)

Addictive groove for sure.

Digging the vibe of this, both driven but kinda chill. I like the X-Files nod, but glad it's still it's own thing!

this is so addictive...this would make a good track to use at sports events as well...as it is so dang lively...I am chair bouncing...

It's a massive track...and there is always room for another one of these...

this could be used for a hundred things...even a commercial... this is like a modern techno Alan Parsons thing...and I love that guy's music

if thiis is excercise or a warm up, what do you do for a routine?
