At the time of writing, I had just recently put my rack back together after a super long time of it being taken apart. I just wanted to write a more simple tune that doesn't need to worry about so much mixing work being done, as I was also on a (very tight) time limit with the deadline and life getting in the way - so I opted for my Alesis and SC-55 modules, as I figured these two would blend together well - I ended up being far more correct about that than I had anticipated.

I used a lot of pitch and harmonic shift tricks on the 55 in particular - the two assignable CC's (16 and 17) were assigned to ±24 semitones (+24 on one, -24 on the other), this got me some really pretty lo-fi sounds and some punchy drums. The Alesis module provides a lot of the sounds that aren't typical for the SC-55, to provide some timbral variety.

I was super inspired by Mitsuda's Chrono Trigger score while writing this, way more than I'd normally be.
