Jet Jaguar - Sound 1 [disquiet0564] (Free download) by Jet Jaguar (NZ) published on 2022-10-22T09:21:38Z The one instruction for this week's Disquiet Junto assignment was to use an octave leap, which is something I quite often do anyway. So, I just set about writing a new track without thinking too hard about the brief. I actually started with the percussion that shows up later in the track. The root on the opening part steps down an octave before introducing the next chord in the progression. A two-note synth part is just the minor 7 on two octaves (with a major 6 once for colour - still fits the Dorian mode but is pretty HELLO when it shows up imo). A second synth part doubles the guitar harmonic sounds, coming in via an opening low-pass filter. That synth part has its pitch modulated by a little step sequence, so it steps up one or two octaves, and the rate at which that's happening in shifting about. That part then runs into a delay (Valhalla Delay) which as a descending octave shift in the feedback patch. A synth bass part arrives later that is just sustained notes following the root of each chord, but an arpeggiator steps up and down an octave. Kind of like with the pitch modulation on the other synth, the tempo of the arpeggiator is being modulated by an LFO, then quantised, to make it less synth disco / Girls & Boys.
