Sine wave/native synthesis challenge

Had some fun with this, learned alot, like sine’s make pretty alright jungle bass drums,
and with some work, can make a good house synth.

I’m getting a lot of spooky bell vibes from using just the sine.
The bassdrum was way easier here than the whitenoise compo.
That said, struggled a bit with the snares and hats compared to whitenoise.

Below is my contribution to the compo, its 108 KB:

wow… really cool tune, @Jek. ethereal & alien, but simultaneously deep and tribal in the rhythm section. really nice juxtaposition of vibes. some great sound design in there, too. evocative of insects and birds and strange undreamt of vistas… :fire: :fire: :fire:

Liking the hihat arrangement, they sound good and its a nice pattern.

Got a question if you dont mind, how are you making those Xs on the channels?
Couldnt find any commands in the effects columns or automation doing that.

Thanks!

The ‘X’ are on the individual pattern ‘bricks’ in the Pattern Matrix.
Select a pattern brick, then click it with middle-mouse - to disable it - afaik - it stops playing its notes for the given brick.

Ahhh got it, thanks for sharing!
I’ve seen it on a few tracks and it had me stumped for awhile now.
Coming from fasttracker 2 the pattern bricks are not something ive used before.
