Homemade synthesizer song #8

Published on Nov 14, 2016 organfairy

"This is not so much of a song. It's more a demo showing what will happen if a simple 16 step sequence of notes are ring modulated with a sweep up and down of a square wave.
But to make it sound more like an arrangement I have added some bass notes and some bursts of modulated noise."
