Symphony For a Synth

Symphony For a Synth is the largest adventure into the unknown that I have ever attempted, i.e. a combination of an orchestra and synths. This song started in Uphrase, a chord progression and rhythm program similar to Scaler but nowhere near as powerful as Scaler. But I find it much easier to use and adequate for my needs.

BiaB Style - Orchestral 4/4 w/harp
Tempo - 60 BPM
Bass - Swam - Bass Section
Piano - String Studio VS-3 - Factory - Dreamy State
Guitar - Swam - Viola Section
Guitar2 - Kontakt - Amadeus - Viola Section
Strings - Kontakt - Amadeus - Full String Section
Utility - Ultra Analog VA-3 - Play a Lot Note
Utility2 - SynthMaster 3 - Arp Space Station 1

ME - Uphrase track - Lounge Lizard - Tine - Nocturnal Thoughts
Via my Breath and Keyboard controllers:
Bassoon - Swam Bassoon
Trumpet 1 - Swam trumpet

I copied the Bassoon track, raised it an octave, and used a Swam Oboe as the instrument. I also copied the trumpet 1 into trumpet 2, French Horns 1&2, and tuba tracks. I put those tracks into the instrument's ranges and via sound-on-sound added various nuances. I also added nuances using the same process on all of the string tracks.

Me via my keyboard controller:
Synth lead - Ultra Analog VA-3 - Acid Lead
Low synth - Axxes - Throat Punch City
And two Synth FX tracks

As always all comments are welcomed.


Life is short so make sure you spend as much time as possible on the Internet arguing with strangers.
