Was never a big fan of electronica but Oxygene was a notable exception and I think you've captured that same spirit. Good job.
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

this is really peppy and cheery - it's a cool vibe that I haven't heard from electronica in a while!

The sounds are good until the 2nd lead synth sound - that was a bit funfair for my tastes. The lead synths remind me of Bo Hansson while the backing is Jarre. It does sound, in spots like you were a little under rehearsed but I like the melody.

Really fun, upbeat and bouncy tune. That synth is still bouncing around in my head (I hope I can get to sleep now - lol). You've really blended it well - the essence of the theme comes through strong and clear above the other sounds.

Nicely done Riccled - love the groove on it, and found it nicely catchy. As others say, it really has some bounce to it and I liked the upbeat vibes. Thanks for sharing
Cheers, Deryk

Hi Riccled,
synthy stuff has always been a book with seven seals to me, so I can't really judge the expertise it took to write, program and play this fine piece. But I can tell you I did enjoy it.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
