Wonderful... with the plucky echoing sounds.

... need also to remind the well sitting bass sound. Lovin' it.

I like the panning on those percussive sounds.

Beautiful atmosphere. Really nice percussion work.

I really enjoy the smoothness and musicality of your track! If it were me I'd try (and probably fail lol) to amp up the emotion when those Bb and Gm chords come around, but I respect your decision not to draw too much attention to them.

I really like how the energy was building up under that mournful horn intro.

I'm enjoying the pauses in the lead - works really well.

that's a great sound - on the ascending lines.

I'm diving headfirst into the JRPG vibes here. I originally set out to make a more subdued track but somehow a hint of epic flavor snuck in.

Thanks for listening!

This time I focused on rough analog tones and glitchy sound effects this synth is really capable of. Sometimes limited instruments like this can bring new ideas more effectively than a feature packed commercial product. It makes you want to tweak it rather than constantly switching through hundreds of presets. Though, I had to multitrack it sometimes to get thicker sounds and polyphonic patches, but since OSC188 I'm not afraid of that.

The idea of the song came after watching a new T*** movie trailer.
