**UPDATE: Won 2nd Place in Kawaii Dreams From Mars contest out of 130+ entries!**

Inspired by the sun-drenched Summer of '88, this track was composed for Samples From Mars' "Kawaii Dreams From Mars" song contest.

All non-drum sounds were designed based on the inspiring Kawaii Dreams samples (heavily edited with TAL Sampler or Emu-II):

• VOICES: Bell Air, Hello, Return Home, Voices
• KEYS: Air Bass, Drops, Hologram, Jazz Harp, Randroid
• PADS: Analog Strings, Warm Strings

Drum sounds are courtesy of:

• Linn 9000, Fairlight IIx, Alesis HR-16, Roland TR-727, TR-808 ... and a cameo appearance of synth toms via Alpha Juno.

Vintage tones further honed thanks to:

•  Valhalla DSP, Eventide, Arturia, Soundtoys, Brainworx SSL, IK Multimedia

NEVER GETS OLD 

There was no doubting, Baby 
No guessing game
Wanted to be with you and I know you felt the same

Being with you is heaven
Never thought it could feel so right
We were ready without question
To rock and roll through life

       I love to rock with you, Baby
       I love to roll with you on and on  
       I love to laugh with you, Baby
       Until the break of dawn

       I love to talk with you, Baby
       I love to stroll with you hand in hand
       Together we rock, together we roll
       But what I love the most
       It never gets old
       Being with you never gets old

We have so much in common
Share every thought
That became so clear the night we first talked

Like when we were dating
Warm feelings I still get
You still drive me crazy
Just like when we first met

       I love to rock with you, Baby
       I love to roll with you on and on  
       I love to laugh with you, Baby
       Until the break of dawn

       I love to talk with you, Baby
       I love to stroll with you hand in hand
       Together we rock, together we roll
       But what I love the most
       It never gets old
       Being with you never gets old

80s freestyle is my guilty pleasure. My take on it.

This is a compilation of parts from recordings I made when creating patches for the Prophet X synthesizer. I recorded much more, but edited down to the the best bits. There are no additional effects or processing. All effects are from the synth itself.

DISCLAIMER: There is no particular musicianship in these demos. They were recorded whilst patching mostly with one hand on the keyboard and the other hand tweaking knobs. The purpose of uploading is to give an idea of the tone, sound and character of the Prophet X as explored by one sound designer.
