PATTERN RUNNER PATTERN 4 (THE GARDEN)

ty[ing w 1 hand cuz im eatin tacos, i love this. wish
modplug could create lush sounds like this. its my main
problem. its apparently not a single wav playing at
different pitches (like modplug) cuz the note sound goes
bwaaaaaaawuhwuhwuhwuh
and the wuhwuh part is comes at the same time regardless of
pitch. (rather than being time warped cuz a wav played in
higher pitch happens in less time) fruity loops?

The melodic ones near the top are my favorites and quite
nice (I think I have late acting melody genes or something).
The percussionish dominant ones seem less interesting and
aggressive than some of your old tracks (which often kicked
ass). The percussiony ones kinda say what they said in the
first half then needlessly go on 2wice as long imo and are
kinda muddy and a bit repetitive. They all have interesting
sound quality way better than I know how to produce. Kinda
reminds me of the sound quality of eyes of stanley pain, I
guess that's just fruity loops still?

wow thanke ye mWm I agree with about 95 percent of what you
said...the top four songs are tests for a film that I am
working on. each title represents a different location. I am
using fruity studio and sound fonts, which is sampled
instruments at a very high quality...

as far the agressive songs are concerned you are right on
the money again download is still my biggest influence but
have been digging recent CLARK stuff...which is very close
to vintage download IMHO
the muddyness is partly intentional partly a bit stuck with
a shitty soundcard on a new PC I bought which sucks :(

can u name such a clark song or album
'sound fonts' is a program inside FL? I wish modplug had
some sort of way to create/control sounds themselves inside
of it. Instead I usually find some shitty wav buried on my
hard drive to use or record some sound from some random
youtube video, that's a big problem with tone/melody sounds
because you never know what exact pitch they're in. Maybe
auto tune or melodyne can fix that though.
Then there's the additional problem that modplug pitches
make no sense. You load a wav and it's almost always set to
key g#, even if its a different note.
I hate anything like a 'piano roll' where time goes sideways
rather than downward like modplug. Its so obvious and simple
to copy paste bits of the entire pattern in modplug so its
great for making intricate beat patterns, but sucks at the
sounds themselves.

I might just have to make my own damn music software
eventually rather than try to deal with all the piles of
bloated web 2.0 music software out there.
Fruity loops practially begs you to pirate it because if you
buy it legitimately, you only get like 2 working plugins
gizmos. The rest are trial half working stuff, often not
marked as such, thus making finding the ones that actually
work needles buried in a haystack of trial crap. Plus its so
full of web 2.0 that I'd probably never want to use it.
Everything looks like it was made with flash. It should feel
like a blank canvas where the interface is as simple as
possible rather than a barrier full of graphical 'skins'. I
even hate that sound that plays every time the program
starts. *I'm* supposed to be making the sounds, not forced
to hear something FL composed every time it starts.

hmm some of the recent clark tunes...the last three albums
in fact have really been my cup of tea...body riddle,
turning dragon and totems flare...the last one became even
more download like as he started doing some pretty cool
vocals
here are some of the tracks I could find on you tube...

Suns of Temper
Talis
Growls Garden

sounds fonts are a bit hard to explain without wikiing it

SoundFont is a brand name that collectively refers to a file
format and associated technology designed to bridge the gap
between recorded and synthesized audio, especially for the
purposes of computer music composition. SoundFont is also a
registered trademark of E-mu Systems, Inc., and the
exclusive license for re-formatting and managing historical
SoundFont content has been acquired by Digital Sound
Factory.[1]

SoundFont technology is akin to software sampling. A
SoundFont file, or SoundFont 'bank', contains one or more
sampled audio waveforms (or 'samples'), which can be
re-synthesized at different pitches and dynamic levels. Each
sampled waveform may be associated with one or more ranges
of pitches and dynamics. Generally speaking, the quality of
a SoundFont bank is a function of the quality of the digital
samples and the intelligent association of samples with
their appropriate pitch ranges. Quality is also dependent on
the number of samples taken for a given range of pitches.

SoundFont banks are tightly integrated with MIDI devices and
can be seamlessly used in place of General MIDI (GM) patches
in many computer music sequencers. The sound quality of
SoundFont banks is generally regarded as superior to
standard GM banks,[citation needed] and many SoundFont banks
have been created specifically to replace GM banks with
samples of each correspondi

so soundfonts are not native to FL but can be accessed
through a plugins... you might be able to find a SoundFont
player for modplug not sure but once you have it there are
tons of high quality free soundfonts available...with the
recent version FL has included a SF player which is pretty
good as it doesn't tax and overload the RAM as much as some
of the third party plugins used to

and yes I agree about the dearth of plugins they give with
FL it is rather frustrating that is why I mainly use it as a
staging area and use a lot of free vst plugins for synths
and effects...the downside is the aforementioned RAM issues

The clark tracks are ok imo but not really resonating with
me as much as eyes of stanley pain on first listen at least.
I checked and modplug has bad soundfont support. There's a
vst for them but seems complicated and someone said it
doesn't work great either. I wonder if auto-tune is free
since I could make, say, a c note out of any tone-ish sound
and know that its a c note.

clark grows on you his current sound is very textured and
raw sounding a big contrast from the standard warp/idm
obsession with crystalline crunch..which I also enjoy but I
love the dirt and grit on clark

hmmm i would still recommend trying the sound fonts if you
can get a hold of a good plugin to use with your modplug,
imho every crappy sound soundfonts sound miles better than
the standard hits and loops
