A laid-back but power rhythm leads a Vangelis-esque pulsing bass drone, accompanied by a choir synthetic and sampled voices from around the world. Add a little bit of regal horn and sparkling hand bells, and you’ve set the scene for Christmas in Rockland.
Apple released a new drummers pack for the iOS version of Garageband, so I decided to give one a try with a Christmas classic.
Here’s a little something for the holidays, a relaxed winter holidays-styled tune of orchestral instruments atop a percolating percussion loop with hints of the traditional “Jingle Bells” melody.
Here’s a Christmassy tune perfect for your holiday video projects. A moderate tempo modern rhythm under sparkling bell synths and sleigh bells, occasionally sprinkled with twinkling piano and steam pops.
Time for a new transanitized version of the holiday favourite. This new version features some pumping loops from Looperman artist “Fanto8BC”, with some Roland KR-500 and Korg i3 sandwiched in.
This “transanitized” take on the Christmas Classic was built upon the 70’s Disco auto-accompaniment preset on the Yamaha PSR-225 from 1998. Then, with the exception of drums and sax, the accompaniment parts were remapped to other synths in the TranSan studio, including the Korg i3 and Yamaha TX-81Z. band-in-a-boxauto-accompanimentChristmasholidayyamaha psr-225
Here’s another winter holiday-themed tune built upon a delightful bells loop by Looperman artist Minor2Go from Germany, and featuring drum loops from Marcco500 and Aplesos6.
Here’s a sleigh bells shakin’ dubstep with a simple melody of piano, chimes and strings. Featuring a wonderful holiday drum loop from Looperman artist alexisescalona and sounds from the Korg i3, Yamaha TX-81Z, Roland KR-500 and Yamaha TG33 synths, along with a smathering of VSTs. This song was created live on-stream at Twitch.tv/TransistorSandwich.
