It’s taken most of the day, but I finally got the drum kit built and behaving. I’ve already got some patterns programmed for the first song as a test, and it’s working very well so far.

This evening has been spent familiarizing myself with the different synth instrument plugins and noisemakers that I plan to use over the course of the project. Most are very simple and easy to control… even moreso with Live’s intuitive interface.

Getting a feel for Slayer (the guitar synth) is my next priority. It sounds awesome, but the controls are confusing… I can’t seem to get the hang of getting power chords to behave well enough for a good crunchy evil thrash sound.

Working…
