AXiS 49 - EPIC Dance Track (edit)

The european in me wrote this new trance-esque song with my AXiS 49 (a harmonic table keyboard)

I tried to use my best electronic sounds ;-)


This is for a contest where I had to keep it short.

Full audio version is posted here http://www.myspace.com/dageorg

And mind you... does this sound have any "name"? I know I heard it in 8bit version often in some NES games so I suppose it has...

[guitarDouchebaggery]

@mastachang69 oh I see, for that sound I used a Vsti called "Minimonsta", it's a Minimoog Simulation (a very famous or "classic" monosynth)

[guitarDouchebaggery]

@mastachang69 it's a square wave for the most part (it's in between quare and saw waveforms in my song, but on the NES synth chip it would be just a square wave). The NES sound chip has a square, a triangle and a noise waveform (the noise one is for the drum sounds)

Hey the sound used for the melody in the first part... that's one of the sounds I always have in mind whenever hearing retarded douchebags complaining about how natural instruments sound "so much better" than any electronic sounds... This, and the half wind/string sound used by Dream Theater's continuum, and Pink Floyd too. If science can come up with harder materials than those naturally occuring in nature. then, you know the rest...

[guitarDouchebaggery]

@mastachang69 true

I think you should just have it all, natural and synthetic sounds etc.

anyways, the sound in the very beginning is from Omnisphere, it was called something like "Glass bulbs", it's samlpled from plucked lighting bulbs + some extra layers of other sounds

You hear their having a sale on the axis-49 at C-thru Music? I think it's probably because of all of the press their getting from this contest, mostly your video. It's 10% off which is pretty significant, we'll see who takes advantage.

[guitarDouchebaggery]

yes, I've seen it. I let some people on myspace know about it, since I got lots of messages there regarding what kind of keyboard this is etc.

[mastachang69]

Unbelievable... I did not even notice bulbs made a sound when plucked, or acutally the metal rim vibrating... the sounds I was thinking about are in YouTube video eTl-TAOMD18 (at 17 seconds is the pitch range where it sounds most alike). and even better for 8bit I guess, in video 0QrTvNl8NuQ The transitions sound less smooth and the envelope less deep, but to me it sounds quite similar... sounds having to do with something cyclic I guess...

The background flying by gave me a sensation of "cat on a keyboard in space..." Hilarious!

JUST FODA!!!
