Blog 4 before sytrus redux

I was looking through the sytrus machine on Fl studio, searching through the presets for a good idea for tones, and I stumbled upon two, one which made me think of a techno styled bopping noise, and the other which made me think of making a chorus styled "ah" for the main melodies. I used a set form of AABA styling, leaving breaks in the main melody for random interlude loops. Most of the loops were created using the "Riff Machine" in Fl studio, creating little riff lines for the piece.While I was in sytrus I used the Volume and cutoff key mappings so that certain notes can be heard more clearly and so they cut themselves off faster into the actual piece itself. One of my main influences on this piece is that of a band by the name Planet X, which can be heard through the weird space bubbly noises throughout the song

Ring Tone

My ring tone consists of just acid sytrus loops, and I made it short and to the point so that it can easily be looped, or kept rather short. I also made it so that if it were looped it would be rather annoying so that it would work well for an alarm, because being an insomniac with trouble actually getting up in the morning I know the importance of loud irritating alarms to wake you up.

Sytrus ReDux

The Final Product Of The Sytrus Synth Machine. I put in a few extra sounds to give the creepy dark techno loop, a bit more of a drone mysterious feel. Only a few of the lines came from the Riff Machine, but the other I had to make myself because I wasnt getting the lines I needed for the specific sytrus synth.
