The Queen and The Warrior
This tune is a spotlight on the Ample Guitar M Lite sound library for Kontakt.
West Coast Crusin’
Based on a 50s/60s surfer pop music rhythm inspired by the Adam West-era Batman theme song.
Y Not?
This somewhat mysterious, laid-back tune was vaguely inspired by the pumping bass and twangy guitar in the song “I’m the X”, from the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode “Subspace Rhapsody”.
Nuclear Atlantis
A tune built around some distinctly 80s percussion, with sequences manually tapped in.
Mmm
Inspired by a fast-pumping rhythm preset from my Yamaha MM6 synth.
Bryce Yourself
Here’s a bit of a switch-up for the library: a hard-rockin’ fast-paced tune featuring something as close as I could get to guitar sounds. Synths have never really done guitars well, and I’m not a guitarist… but I had an absolute blast building this one! Recorded at 140bmp, for those of you who are interested. For anyone interested, here’s the MIDI file for the lead melody parts (both the guitar and verse synth together on a single track).
Electro Serpentine
Inspire by a cool groove posted by Looperman contributor hamood.
Next Kontakt
Inspired by a drum loop available in the Kontakt player default free set.
Earth Mover
Inspired by an arpeggiated groove in SynthMaster One, this one had such a funky rythmic pattern I had to tap in the drums by hand for the best match.
The Winds of Fair Haven
I had an urge to do an upbeat, quick-tempoed tune and this one clocks in at a brisk 174 beats per minute.
