Loose the Metaltron
Hard rock? Heavy metal? This is very much a keyboard player’s attempt at something resembling either, or both. The result is somewhat PS2-ish. Enjoy!
Roller Coaster Life
Inspired by a loop from Looperman.com, with an arp’d MuLab bass, some Analog Lab V and Surge XT pads and a bunch more MuLab instruments.
I Can’t Get You Outta My Head
I was digging through some old optical media when I stumbled across this gem that I had originally recorded way back in 2004. Over 20 years buried away… well, no longer. The folder I found didn’t have the separate stems for the instrumental, but it did contain the separate vocal tracks. So I’ve rebuilt the instrumental using my current tools and slipped the original vocals back in place. This marks the first TranSan song in the library with vocals! Hope you enjoy!
Return to Tomorrow
Another in the Instrument Category Series, this upbeat tune is led by several examples of synthesized guitar, with an assist from some punchy brass synth in the chorus. Almost all of the guitar sounds are courtesy of the Yamaha MM6 synth, with heavy metal drum kit from Monster Drum, some Analog Lab V and some Love-Fi 3 Lite, amidst a handful of MuLab synths sandwiched in.
The Need for Steed
Part of the Instrument Category Series, this tune is composed around the organ category of instruments. Featuring sounds from Analog Lab V, Surge XT, MuLab, Monster Drum and an old breakbeat loop I dug up from a random backup CD.
Don’t Like to Blow My Own Horn, But…
This tune is part of a series where I’ve selected a category of instrument as the primary focus, which in this case is brass instruments. The main brass sound is from the FluidR3 General MIDI soundfont, accompanied by the trumpet section from BBC Symphony Orchestra and a “brassy” synth from the Surge XT VST. Also, one of the bass layers is tuba from BBC Symphony Orchestra. Sandwiched in are select instruments from MuLab, a drum loop from Looperman artist gdbcrew and additional percussion from Monster Drums.
Quit Playin’ With My Heart Again
This song grew out of a melody idea that came to me on a brisk, early morning walk. Made with sounds from Monster Drum, Analog Lab V, Audiolatry Grand Piano, and a smattering of sounds from MuLab.
Spirit of Atlantis
Made with Behringer Vintage VST, Analog Lab V, Nils’ Kawai K1v, Surge XT, Monster Drum and a smattering of sounds from MuLab.
Falling Into Autumn
Inspired by the season at the time of writing, as well as by some free loops available from Cymatics.fm, along with some MuLab, Analog Lab V, Vital and Monster Drums sandwiched in. Watch this song being made with highlights from the TranSan Labs live stream:
AdrenaLynn
Inspired by a wicked loop created by Looperman creator @wesleywebbers, along with some MuLab synths, Monster Drums, Analog Lab V, Surrealistic MG-1 Plus, Odin 2 and Sonatina Choir sandwiched in. Watch this song being made with highlights from the TranSan Labs live stream:
