Am listening to 'City Dreams' (lovely), patterns starting at line 2176
At this point there are just four patterns playing; in vertical order, top to bottom -
- 1: a 'half' pattern
- 2: a pattern with a single track, which seems to have no note values
- 3: a complex set of tracks which seem to generate bass/fx
- 4: the synth pattern
If I mute out 4) I can just hear the bass/fx.
I then notice that 1) and 2) don't seem to have any 'note' values, just effect modules/parameters in their tracks; however if I mute out 1) and 2), the resulting fx from 3) sounds very 'different'; in particular much less 'rich'
So it seems as if somehow patterns 1) - 3) are linked; or more particularly, that 1) and 2) are adding extra richness effect- wise to 3); and yet if I mute out 3) I can't hear anything from 1) and 2) at all! (probably because there aren't any note values)
Could someone be kind and explain to me briefly how this is all working ?
Thank you
