I composed this track today using the Microfreak, DFAM, Polybrute, Wavestate, Brains, Model D, UMPF retro through Runia (sofa king nasty), and a 303. It is raw and dirty. Just like my mind. But needs work. Let me know if you like it.

Lives up to the title/genre, does not disappoint!
The main ambient sound reminds me of my Cloud Terrarium module (wavetable morphing/clouds), sweet!
And a nice balance between the instruments/moods, will be interesting to see where you go with this one. :)

That is the microfreak in grains mode with an esq1 vox sample. thanks for listening. I am modulating with 5 lfos from the little lfo. not that anyone cares but as a dork I felt compelled to tell you.

Nice tune. I like the dark mysterious atmosphere. The 303 in the end was nice too.
Gotta spend some more time with Ruina at some point. I tried your tip a few days a go, to feed it some simpler sounds and I did get way better results.

Wonderful intro: a humanized chainsaw smooth enough for an ASMR focus session rather than Sleep therapy. Overall a nice template to work on imo.

Some thoughts:

The chainsaw is a main theme throughout the tune.

I'm curious what you could come up with if you:

* Had it in the intro and as an "ostinato" from start to end, but take down the volume a lot after the intro and let other sounds rule the foreground in segments. Occasionally popping up again to remind us of the main theme.
And perhaps fade it out after the intro sufficiently so that 0:43 feels like a starting shot and 02:24 like an explosion.

* Or start with the chainsaw very subliminal and then make it progress and evolve. Perhaps like:


Some more inspiration:

id find it rather weird if people didnt care about stuff like that on a website that is dedicated to the technical side of a DAW.

This is really good. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for sharing. Like Giles said, it lives up to the name. I'm a sucker for industrial and ambient.
Players are to MIDI what synthesizers are to waveforms.

Here is a screen grab of my microfreak combinator. I like it. for a cheap synth, the midi implementation is excellent. I have added more buttons to turn off and on the lfos for each knob.(ha i said knob.) But CBA to take another screen grab.

looks like a slim yet functional and effective setup.

it allows me to make sounds from my Keylab MK II. The current version of the combi has buttons and another little lfo. I can pick the engine. And shape the found without looking at the tiny screen on the synth. I really love the sound of the filter with the digital osc. I was going to purchase a minifreak(I do have the VST, but the modeled filter is not as good imo) because I love the sound. But I decided to wait. I am hoping for a 61 full-size freak. One thing they did wrong was not allowing external audio to be patched into that sweet filter. I forgot my point so I will just say I love synths.
