Project 4

In this loop I started out with an FPC drum beat. I then selected the Fl slayer and chopped a note to create the main guitar part. I then used the Boo Bass channel for my bass part. Next I put the Slayer part into the mixer and created an automation clip of the fruity filters cutoff frequency tool. This made the sound of the guitar change throughout the loop. I then added the 3x channel to my step sequencer and chose the pilch tech pad for the sound. I used the xy controller the control this sound and then recorded it while moving the controller. This allowed the pitch of it to change, something I was hoping to accomplish. Hope you enjoy!

Project 3

In this loop I decided to use a lot of synthesizer. I started the loop out with an FPC rock beat. I then picked the SimSynth channel and chopped a note to create my first part. I transposed it and then I added an automation clip to it. I use the attack part of the filter in the SimSynth for my automation which changes the sound of the synthesizer drastically.

I then created another SimSynth part using the chop tool. I created an automation for this part too. I coupled this with a new drum beat from Fpc to create the second section of the loop. To end the loop I created an automation clip of the master volume and faded the loop out.

Project 2

To start I first opened up FPC and picked a rock loop that I liked. I moved this loop into the piano roll and modified it very slightly, because I already was a fan of the original loop. I then went into the slayer feature and found a slap bass sound that I liked. (I decided to choose a slap bass sound because I did not want a soft sound) I then opened it up in the piano roll and used the chop tool. Next I used the slayer once again and selected the Dire Straits Preset. I used the chop tool in the piano roll once again to create my guitar loop. I chose to chop it this way because I liked the fast speed of the guitar.

I changed to pitch's of both the guitar and bass loops by transposing them in the piano roll. I started it out with drums first followed by the bass and the main guitar sound. For the main section of the song I used 8 measure sections. I also used a snare drum roll a few times to break up each section. I used the piano roll and the chop tool to create the drum rolls. Next I included a break in my song with a synthesizer loop created from the bass sim synth channel. I thought this broke it up well and changed the feeling in the middle of the song. I chose to end the song by repeating the main section and fading it out at the end. I made the entire song from FPC, slayer and the sim synth channels.
