Commentary:
It started as a little seed of a bassline, small and uninteresting.
From there it grew into a healthy, grim stalk-of-a-song, moving with a
small assortment of sounds picking up the theme. Ummm...Errrr...
It did start as a little bassline, playing out a steady, repetitious
beat, but I added the octaves to spice things up. I hope it worked... My
goal was to create a slow song, something I seem to have a great deal of
trouble doing anymore. I invariably end up throwing in far too many 16th
notes and then decide to change my drumline into a quarter-note-driven
techno/dance/trance/(disco) beat. After that, my brain turns to
nonterminating repetition, and something brown and smelly hits the fan.
Fortunately, I conceived a melody before I got too far into the song,
something I can't or don't usually do. Much to my chagrin, this kind of
development is a bit of a fluke for me. I'm glad it turned out the way it
did.
This is also my first real attempt at using the resonant filtering.
I just recently replaced my old processor with an MMX, so I finally got to
see (or hear, rather) what all the fuss was about. This is also one song
I'm satisfied to call DONE, unlike my first release (which I haven't yet
released, actually). That song is still awaiting some tweaks so it isn't
quite so monotonous.
That's about all for this one, people. I love this scene. Trackers
rule. So long.
Thanks go to:
-God, being the inventor of things like music and hearing. For
strength, patience, and inspiration.
-Jeffrey Lim and the crew that helped him put this program
together. Many, many thanks and blessings.
-The Mod Archive, for all of the samples and MODs there to be used
and appreciated, and for making it easy to search for things
within the site. Keep up the great work.
-Agent Orange, for making Orangator 2.0 and providing all the sweet
presets. I'm looking forward to Virtual Orangator.
-Nasca Octavian Paul, for making Paul's Sound Designer 2.2 and all
of those great presets. God bless and good luck. I hope you get
a job worthy of your talents.
-Of course, anyone who likes this and/or any other tunes I end up
releasing. Hey, what's this brown stuff on my nose?

* Use Impulse Tracker 2.14 or better, or OpenCP, for playback. Sure,
there are some pops and clicks in it, but ModPlug Tracker screws up the
Resonance and that SUCKS MAJOR. I still like ModPlug, but Impulse plays
it like I made it. Otherwise it'll sound too bass and muffled (the
filtering works just fine on MPT). Although, Cubic Player does strange
things to the retrigger effect. Sometimes it sounds right, sometimes it's
off. <sob> Oh well.
If you must use ModPlug, be sure to adjust the Q-factor sliders
in the Instrument tab for instruments 3 (202 Wide), 6 (Empty), and 12
(Percussion). Set them at around 60-70% for a reasonable approximation.
Enjoy.
