about

ambient drums


track: 32

instrument(s) used: komplete FM8 synthesizer

voice(s) used: ambient drums

recorded: 20140216

duration: 3:55

type: active

another track done on the fm8 synthesizer, using a truly unique voice called "ambient drums" (hence the name of the track) and this is a voice that I really, really like, because of the way it processes input into percussive, note, pitch, delays, and not-quite-sure-what-else; as it works it's magic on your input - it seems almost like a magic patch.

I get the feeling that you could pretty much take any existing MIDI file, run it into "ambient drums" - and whatever came out, would sound musical - and rhythmic. this is just one of those happy, upbeat patches that you run across occasionally, that sounds good no matter how hard you may try to make it sound bad - it just sounds good.

not bad for my first-ever time of using this unusual patch - a very different kind of track - and I do like "different" :-) I really enjoy the odd stops and starts, but even with a "broken" rhythm, you still get a great feel from the patch - another fantastic fm8 voice.
