This uses variants of my brass and orchestral bass drum patches for Surge XT. They're synthesized rather than sampled. The snare drum is from Cakewalk's included drumkit plugin, and is sampled.

I recreated this from an original track, Advancing Menace, by John Richardson, popularised as the TV theme for BBC's Mastermind. My version has a 16-bar introduction; here it's 8 bars to keep it short.

To improve this, I'd make more of the transitions legato.

Noodle 012 - Advancing Menace - texture - with Surge XT

A flute instrument, based on physical modelling (noisy sources, resonators). This demo includes some articulations you might expect from a flute.

Noodle 013 - Flute - Surge XT

Recently been testing working with reaper, using Surge xt and other vst synths and drum machines. Here's a track made with vst, sequenced by Torso T1.

üleilmselged kajastused

A cover of OMD's All That Glitters.

Created in Surge XT, as a demo of my patch like the Korg M1 "Symphonic Strings"

This is synthesis, not samples. Drums: Cakewalk.

There's no MIDI on the web of this piece, so these are my notes/score.

Sound design, arrangement, articulations, and mix by me. This Noodle is a segment of around 50 seconds, as fair use.

Noodle 023 - All that Glitters - Surge XT - sound texture

The beginnings of an experiment to use my expressive synthesized strings, using my Surge XT patches for all instruments.

Because this is a work-in-progress, this track might not be here for long, and I've likely improved on it already ;)

I used a public MIDI file, but I'll be rearranging it, because this seems squashed into four soloist parts. It would benefit from a more thorough voicing.

Noodle 025 - Albinoni Adagio D Minor - Surge XT - v2 WIP temporary

A snippet from my cover of "Take My Breath Away" (Berlin / Moroder) using my Surge XT patches for all sounds.

I used a public MIDI file, with edits. There's a lot more I could do here.

Noodle 026 - Take My Breath Away - Surge XT

An early snippet from my cover of "Take On Me" (A-Ha!) using my Surge XT patches for all sounds, except one that uses DEXED.
