My entry for the VCP-54 challenge.

A bit of vintage nostalgia for mall rats :slight_smile: I fed one of the arps into a snare drum for both melody and percussion, and then trashed everything. The other arp is for the bass.

Here’s the patch… https://patchstorage.com/interlude-vcp-54/

I like how you mapped the two Arps. Feel like part of an old eighties video game, entering a room and have some nice background music to the game :smiley:

I used 2 of these ARP things in my patch this time. One to create the weird shimmery stuff and another to create the bass. Here, try it:

vcp54.vcv (134.1 KB)

It’s got some nice '80s keyboards and slow gated reverb drums with some FM ambience. (Suddenly I sound like an estate agent). I spent a lot of time worrying myself about how to structure the piece (trying to turn stuff off and on with an LFO) and then just used my normal approach (with gate-seq64). Actually, @ablaut could we have a vcp focused on some particular form of structuring? Ideally something that all the clever composers use that I don’t know. I liked being forced to learn merengue last time, even if I did a bad job.

edits for clarity.

Some good news reached me while on this challenge and shaped the result. While trying to focus on Hampton Harmonic’s Arp I also tried to work with modules I rarely use. mscHack’s Triad 2 might become a more frequent guest to my pachtes as will oscillators by dbiz.

Haven’t done one of these in a minute. Used only two of the arps for a nice minimal ambient track.
