(FM4) - Little Goblin

[TritoneAddiction]

I wrote this for my FM4 project. All synth sounds made with FM4.

All tracks from this project sound very different from each other, this one being the "softest" of them.

I dig this, seems perfect for games where there is some action involved, like platforms games etc.
Your melodies are always well constructed and never easily predictable.

Only thing I would change it's the second part of the lead solo at about 2:18. For some reason in my mind I had the feeling it would open up a bit, becoming more bright or more squelcy, not sure, just some kind of variation to catch/keep listener attention, but it's a matter of taste of course!

BTW, it seems you're having fun with FM4, I can tell it's a lovely and expressive synth!

Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback. I won't change anything now though. I try to stick to my "when I song is done it's done" rule.
FM4 is great, a new favorite of mine. Not too much, not too little features, just enough to tweak some patches and start writing a song.

Instantly made me think of platform games too! Fun track!

Thanks. Same here. An old platform puzzle game called Benefactor for the Amiga 500 comes to my mind when I hear this song.

nice!
great groove on the bass and captivating melodies and pads throughout.
I'm not a fan of the disonant sounding sine-pluck parts (0:38 / 2:14) ... I feel they iterrupt the vibe of the rest of the song. Luckily they're short enough to keep me entertained!

Great track with lots of feel to it!!

Wow, great sounds and music! Fun choice to use a bass sound melody. Very bouncy.

Thanks. That's ok. I like the dissonant sounding sine-plucks, obviously, why would I keep it in there otherwise?
Glad you liked some of it at least. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks. If I remember correctly the bassline was what started the whole song. Then I added all the leads and chords over it later.

That's a fun song to listen to. I really like the progression and what you've done with the little leads that sort of fall from the sides.

Thanks. Yeah falling panned leads is something I've never tried before. They are actually arrhythmical(?), meaning the notes aren't synced to the music at all. They just go from fast to slow. Apparently that works even with a steady beat.

Super colorful track man
I let fm4 collect dust over the last couple of months and I think you did a good job showcasing just how good this thing can sound.

Thanks. After this project FM4 is now one of my favorites. It's been the only FM synth that I've liked working with. And I have tried all the other FM synths for Reason at least briefly. But this one I just clicked with right away. But again I like working with simple and limited tools. I'll leave all the CV and Panda stuff to the technical wizards like you

Yea FM4 is a favorite of mine as well and I have used it in two songs, I am currently composing, for an indie movie project. I really dig this tune great job Tritone.
