88 Ways To Have Fun (With Fairlight CMI)

[jappe]

Lovely!

What patches are you using in this song?

[bitley]

Cool Jappe! I will check!

[DrGOA®]

Very good job!

[bitley]

Thanks! I think I will rearrange it a bit but I like the 1988 PSB / New order / 808 state energy in the first half or so, that vocoder bass eats too much space. Todo: patch list.

Nice, good sounds, love the style.
WBF is on my BF wishlist now.

[bitley]

Cool! Make sure not to miss it.

Here's the sounds used (phew, more than I thought):

Drums:
___ReDrum with the kit Trinity 1 & slightly tweaked (Panning, tuning etc) (WBF R2)
___Scream tape comp P1 full P2 75% Cut: just the mid taken down about 40%
Rexloop:
___Hhp70_SoufLand_136_Chmc (played from the keys) (FSB)
___Scream tape comp P1 full P2 55% Cut: unchanged

NNXT:

Main click bass
___FM ClickKey (Yamaha DX7 bass) (WBF R2)
___Scream tape comp P1 full P2 25% Cut: Bass up 20% Mid down 10% Hi unchanged

Brass in the fade
___OctBrassEns (FSB)

Glittery "arpeggio"
___Chasing Again (WBF R2)

Combinators:

Bell sound used from the intro and playing chords in the end
___Audible Diamonds (WBF R2)

Pad 1
___The Day Before You Came (Abba inspired pad sound) (WBF R2)

Pad 2 (similar to the above pad and the one below is what I use on almost every track)
___Pad 8P Looped Fatness (WBF R2)

Tiny "answer" bell sound
___Composium (WBF R2)

Pet Shop Boys-like vocal / Fairlight sound
___Aah (WBF R2)

808 State-like arpeggio madness
___Ana Wobbler (WBF R2)

Funk synth
___Funky Fat Synth (WBF R2)
Two instances of this one is used, I don't remember why

Quiet background synth playing a mellow "sub" melody
___Sunrise Pulse (WBF R2X)

Thor:
___Tweaked bass sound from Exode Club Soundset V1
___How & when? Paired with the vocoder bass 2nd half of the track
___Scream tape compression on that (I do that a lot)

Subtractor:

This one plays one of the "funk synth" parts (one of them acts like a delay)
___Phat 1 (WBF R2) with RV7 / UN-16 and The Echo / 100% wet

Vocoder (mixed almost to a whisper):
___Scream / BVF512 / Scream (again) / UN-16 / RV7000 MKII
___Subtractor with Wave 0 / Oct 5 on the first oscillator, Wave 1 / Oct 4 on the second

Second vocoder:
___BV512 / Scream / kiloHearts Stereo & kiloHearts Chorus (loving these)
___Subtractor here as well / Init Patch / Sawtooth wave / 85% Filter 1

+ 13 audio tracks with vocals and stuff (2 bus tracks) & used a simple old SM-57 and I guess I should use a studio mic instead but I'm lazy!

Time spent: about 9 hours in a row including short breaks

Thanks for the info.
BTW '9 hours in a row including short breaks'
is not being lazy

Many thanks for the patch list

[bitley]

Thanks for asking - status now is that I am dividing this fun session into two different songs / tracks & will develop their ideas individually & ideally reaching a single with A and B sides. A friend of mine will remix it as well.
