Transistor Sandwich

Nearpoint Channel

This tune was made mostly with the SynthMaster One VST, with some Monster Drums and a reverse cymbal sample sandwiched in.

Plop Goes the World

planet impacting giant force field in space

Here’s a tune that is of the most delightful piece of cheese! Constructed solely from a 90s-era portable keyboard, the Optimus MD-1600. This is the type of keyboard you would have found in a Radio Shack during the holiday season. And oh, what a perfect fit for the TranSan Studio! It has its strengths, it has its weaknesses… but it inspired this tune, crafted from the rhythm and auto accompaniment pattern “World Pop”.

Moo Juice

This tune was built as a test run for a new studio hardware upgrade. During this test, I discovered that none of my VST plugins worked, so it’s made entirely from the sounds that come with my preferred DAW, MuLab.

Objection

octagonal shape resembling stop sign floating in thick nebula

A tune with a decidedly 80s flair, inspired by Animotion’s hit song “Obsession”. Built as a test of the freely available Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software Waveform.

000 Destruct Zero

digital numbers on explosive background

This song is made entirely with the OB-Xd virtual synth, a VST designed to approximate the classic 80’s synth Oberheim OB-X.

Pop and Bubble

Here’s a little bubblegum pop for ya, courtesy of MIDI data supplied by the auto-accompaniment of a Casio CTK-650.

Time Grows the Smoothest Stone

stones piled up on a rock protruding from rapid waters

Inspired by a laid-back piano piece I had begun recording late one night and never finished. Reinterpreted as a happy, up-tempo tune of multiple arps and a couple of drum loops from Looperman.com.

Kangaroo Nebula

a space nebula with kangaroo-shaped anomaly

A pop song with a spacey vibe, built upon some rhythm patterns triggered from an old Korg i3 Workstation (circa 1993) and rendered by Monster Drums.

Tachyon Pulse

rays of light streaking through a space nebula

An up-tempo tune with some initial 90s flare, inspired by a beat from Looperman artist @milostubbsmusic. PREVIEW

Funky Tune

Another in my series of sound-alike tunes. This one is inspired by the classic synth hit “Funky Town”, both the Lipps Inc. and Pseudo Echo versions. PREVIEW
