This Patch Sounds Like a Blade Runner City Dreaming in the Rain (free download)

This patch is obviously inspired by Blade Runner.

Especially the scene where Deckard uses the ESPER image computer to analyze stuff. All the sounds are generated. I do sprinkle in a few samples from the movie here and there, but it’s mostly limited to the computer sounds and Deckard’s voice talking to the machine. Everything else comes from the synth.

For the weird sound effects, I used a feedback system that’s constantly clipping and overdriving itself, creating all kinds of strange artifacts. It kind of sounds like distant city noise... aircraft, traffic, that sort of thing. On top of that there are drones and pads running through a massive reverb. The FM bass also randomly plays a few notes from the current scale every now and then.

This Generative Patch Sounds Like a Peaceful Tropical Beach at Sunset (free download)

This time we’re heading to the beach. Waves are pretty easy, but getting that bubbly water sound just right isn’t so simple. On top of that there’s a seagull and some wind / a light breeze. Pretty much everything is based on noise and randomized filters.

I probably do another iteration of this patch, after one day and with fresh ears I can hear multiple things to improve on 🥰

I tried using simple sequences based on probabilities or “chance” modules to create little melodies and chords. The melodies in the “pitches” modules play differently too, since I randomize the phase every 32 bars. On top of that, there’s a random noise generator.

All of that goes into a big reverb diffuser, like the one I showed in my last tutorial. After that, I use delays to pitch everything down an octave, which makes it sound deeper and fluffier.

On the master, I use Polarity-SC and MMatcher to keep the frequencies under control.

The patch sounds like you're sitting on a rooftop in a futuristic city, listening to the rain, the wind, the roar of engines, and some undefined banging and hammering.

It has this futuristic vibe but also feels super chill. That's why I'm calling the patch "Rooftops." I'm also using a really long delay here; I even made a tutorial on how I set up the delay and reverb. For the reverb, I randomly play notes that are based on probabilities, using different note levels or scales like 3rd, minor, 5th, or 4th, and so on. So, it’s not totally random; it’s influenced by probabilities to create a certain atmosphere.

Plus, I've added some noise generators for wind and sounds like thunder rumbling. I think it turned out pretty well and really sets the mood!
