Project 5

With project 5 I composed my own loop on the piano role and then used Poizone to create a sound out of the annoying default buzzing sound they gave. I decided to go for a softer lighter happier piece to create, so I made my sound that could be used almost entirely through the whole piece with a pitch change in the middle. This you'll hear right away at the beginning of the piece. To compliment this sound I used poizone again to create a heavy base sound with long notes so it wouldn't over power the melody. I added in some low bass sounds and a triangle sound to start off the piece too. To end it all I used automation clips to end the piece to end the whole thing

Project 4

For project 4 I decided to create a piece that was somewhat relaxing to listen to and wasn't too overwhelming. To start out the piece I used the Fruity Filter with a guitar sound. Also adding an automation clip to it to pan it in and out when I wanted to to be quieter or louder depending on what I added next. Next I used the X-Y controller with a kick sound to add in some percussion I wanted a somewhat of a dramatic change in the percussion so when I recorded the X-y controller I moved around a lot with it. To add more to this I put in the channel Boobass I used the riff machine to get a sound I liked for it the just added and automation clip on top of that. Finally I added FL keys and wrote out a simple piece to be played when the percussion fades out through out the piece and to end it I had the Slayer and the FL keys fade out together.

Project 3

For Project 3 I used the riff machine on basically all the channels to create a upbeat dance like sound. I used Boobass, Drumpad, Simsynth, Fl keys and Slayer. I repeated the basic loop I created which consisted of the Boobass and the Simsynth. I didn't get too creative with this and just used the riff machine. I added automation clips to the whole piece and to the Drumpad and Boobass to help fade in and out between parts of the song.
