Well, that's because i carefully selected those 8 sounds from the 32 sounds available. I knew upfront that they would match together and add them to a setlist for the video. What i did was selected a Pad sound, then a Lead sound, then a pad sound, etc...JaySL wrote:What amaze me about this sound set is that no matter what prog/combi you are playing they all sound like they relate to one another, more that a sound set i would call it a combi composition. As always you did a wonderful work again. Congratulations!
Thanks to the SST (Smooth Sound Transitions) from Korg i could easely change the presets in the setlist to go to the next sound. This is a great performance function that they support that sound transitions.
Because the programs are light on FX usage there isn't any problem to create those big soundscapes. The movements are programmed in the sound, so i only needed one or 2 FX slots per sound. That helps a lot when improvising such a tune. Upfront i didn't have a plan what i was going to play, i only decided to start in C minor and started playing.
During play i can give different flavours on the sound by using different velocities. You can hear this for instance in the first sound, it starts with a breathing flute sound, then i play (at 1:02) with more velocity and you hear the strings added to same sound. It's still just one program in that case. There are more kind of tricks like that in the programs, for instance using the modwheel or ribbon changes the sound which you can lock with a switch. So I have all kind of performance tricks available during play so i can focus on the song and express the melody or soundscape i have in my head.
Now when i wanted to create a different song i can select other sounds from that set, for instance there is a killer program available where a monk is chanting over deep ambient didgaridoo like sounds. That would make a great intro for a new demo. Also the rythmic presets like Ancient Temple or the sequenced basslines would add some real flavour to a new song.
When the soundset is ready for release in october (i still have to do the KARMA implementation) then i will create a new demo for it where i'm going to show these kind of sounds.
The hard part for me is to focus on finishing it, everytime i want to create the KARMA scenes i got distracted by playing with the sounds in the soundset, it gives me simply to much inspiration
Thanks for all the comments, it motivates me to create those kind of soundsets !
