2. 8P Chords
3. 8P Funk

Fantastic collection of tunes! Too bad many are so short, there are a lot of great ideas. Listening to the album on spotify I would have liked to sample practically every track and use the slices for about ten future funk /french house tracks! The sound design is amazing, as one could not expect otherwise from Bitley. Personally I would have made more complex and articulate arrangements because the sound and ideas are there and they are remarkable, but it was still an amazing listen.

8P funk and and JX8P With D-50 are my faves

Oh thank you! :-) The problem with sampling is that you have to assign me as a co-writer but if you just do that with your music service (BMI / Ascap / Stim etc) sample anything, would be fun to hear it. (My name is Patrick Fridh and I'm in Sweden registered with Stim). Create something new with anything that inspires you. Sounds designed are just partly my work as I also use the lovely presets programmed by Eric Persing on both the JXes and the D-50 as the solo on that track. Music rights help paying for the butter (I'm very bitter on the price of butter these days at like $8 per package here, insanity). Rent not mentioned lol... survival is truly a challenge. I often say that I eat my synths as I sell them to have pocket money. Now if playbacks would reach zillions I wouldn't be so picky... ;-)

Sounds great patrick! Such a great synthesizer, and very funky tracks!

For some reason your 8P seems more snappy than mine!

Maybe you were listening to the JX10 bass sound which is a simple layer ;) Glad you appreciate the trax!
