Stiltwalker In The Wind - 030114

Sponsored by "Wishbone Ash".

Programmed 5 different MIDI drum parts in CE5 using the Roland Juno-D and the Phonic Firefly. I used a combination of the HALion One Jazzy Kit and the Kore Player Sky Kit. I'll edit these parts tomorrow if I get the chance. Definitely over the weekend. I may also have to take a look at the JP Analogue Stringpad MIDI part.

I also got over my issue with the Arpy Mystery Pad part by recording it as audio in CE5 via the Phonic Firefly and my Behringer Xenyx 1202 mixer. I did some audio cleanup in AA3.

Track sounding really good, I must saw. Delighted with the progress so far!

Stiltwalker In The Wind - 020114

Sponsored by "Wire".

Oh, now that was very satisfactory!

Spent the morning programming various VST plugins in CE5, using my Roland Juno-D and my Phonic Firefly interface

What we essentially have is a slow-ish groove (95 bpm) using the HALion One Hip Hop Drums to program rough beats with electric piano (FM8 Rhode_) and synth strings (HALion One JP Analogue Stringpad), plus a voice from the Arpy plugin (Mystery Pad) which has a nice combination of feedback and delay. Very interesting, but you have to power it off/on after every take, as the tone "holds" indefinitely. I may well use that property in time.

Tomorrow, I hope to spend a bit of time programming proper drum parts and maybe a few other bits of melodic trickery.

I can hear the bass parts that I plan to use in due course (might even record them next week if I'm feeling especially inspired).

There isn't a huge amount more to do with the track beyond that. Very pleased with the progress so far. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come, but somehow I doubt it...;-).

More tomorrow.
