Chroma - Synth Tattoo

"A brand new track, fresh off the render. A true epic; progressive, colourful, dark and wonderful.

I just put the finishing touches on today, it should (fingers crossed) be the final version now."

"Something I've been working on lately. I'm pretty happy with it, I'd be interested to hear your feedback.
As always it was produced using lots of vintage and new analog gear (Roland MKS-70, Yamaha CS10, Novation Bassstation, Moog Minitaur & SubPhatty) and some digital (Kurzweil K2000R, Ensoniq TS12, Access Virus TI2)."

Details on what's doing what: "the opening bass line is the K2000r, it's a 303ish patch I made, it then gets layered with the Minitaur. The sequenced synths that follow are the Sub Phatty and the MKS70, they're playing different sequences. There's also a CS10 sequence that comes in a bit later. There are two pads, one is the Virus and the other (I think) is the TS12. The main lead synths are a combination of three synth sounds, one is the MKS70, another is the Virus and the bell sound is the TS12. Later a new bass line comes in and that's the Subphatty, it's layered with a line from the MKS70. The final melodies are played on the TS12 and the default Kontakt 5 harp sound. All beats are made with Stylus RMX and NI Battery. I think I covered everything, I may have miss-remembered some stuff because I'm away from home right now and can't verify. I might have not used the Bassstation after all, difficult to remember sometimes"

And on the tattoo: "I wanted a tattoo that represented my love of analog synths (I guess primarily Moog because they're so iconic and their knobs and panels always look great) and so go some basic module knobs tattooed on my arm. They are: cutoff, res, waveform, LFO rate, VCF amount knobs."
