This track was composed for the KVR One Synth Challenge 172 using the free software synth Lith. 

Definitely was inspired by Blade Runner and Clockwork Orange for this one. 

I used the random button liberally and then further tweaked the synth settings to finalize the patches.

Rooftops in Digital (Lith)

Neu KatalYst - Rooftops In Digital [KVR OSC #172: Lith] [DnB]

YouTube version has better streaming quality: https://youtu.be/Ym29_9b6RyU

"This summer! Things are going to get pretty hot in this new sci-fi thriller, a sequel to the award winning "Replicant City". The breathtaking story and special effects never seen before are awaiting! Coming soon to all cinemas across the country. Don't miss out an opportunity to see a "new kind of movie"! Make sure to bring all of your family members with you, with the bucket of caramel popcorn and ice cold drinks of course!"

Submission for One Synth Challenge #172 featuring "Lith" by Soda Devices.

I couldn't resist to join this round with another synthwave "banger" and use my own presets for this synth. I remember it was on OSC several years ago and I found it very good for drums and FM style sounds. It also has a really nice wave-shaping functions, like on the expensive commercial synths. It's kinda CPU hungry, but thanks to quality selection I can use it even on my old laptop (why the heck big companies cannot implement such a simple and genius feature?). 

31 instances of "Lith" used to create a track.
