Thought I'd give this a listen. I found this amusing in a cool sort of way. Love the synth sounds. Stock plugins? Other stuff? Just curious.

OK, Thanks... Not really a serious tune just trying out some stuff have forgot alot... Used BeatSlicer for drum loop which actually worked pretty good but only works when you have 16-32-64 steps not when 24 or 48 which I like to use for triplets...BUTT! I found that automating global swing from zero to full will turn everything triplet... This is detectable on the drums fading in at the very beginning but I stopped it as soon as the TS-404 starts crying out... Nice to know that at least...

Used two instances of TS-404 panned left/right with somewhat different patches going, there's a couple SYN2 presets also that are on channels thus rendered as WAVs in the sampler which I always thought was quite clever of Fruity folks...

For plugs well it will only use VST1 not VST2 at all so a challenge but DX is mostly good, not all will work... I was fortunate to find an old Voxengo StereoTouch that was an early VST1 which was used on mix channels 1 & 2 & there is a Fruity Delay on one & Fruity Phaser on another & Spectron DX on the master...

I used 64 step patterns & at 96 BPM traveling too slow so in future I surely will double the BPM & a 64 step pattern will become as a 32 step pattern with double the resolution...

Also checking stability as was needed to change to win98/me compat mode to eliminate a few issues But still there is occasional floating point error sometimes drawing automation envelopes which will freeze entire process or not I just have to save before automation tasks...

It does a pretty good job of reading rebirth song files & pretty cool being that old you can render direct to MP3...

Thanks for the interest, I think it's OK to do a more involved tune now that I have a bit of trust in it...

"Beating on": Nice synth run – pretty good idea. You stick with this theme –
even in the "encore." Yeah, I like it. Well done.
