It must be spring!

Obviously it is spring - otherwise you couldn't jam happy spring music like this:

Anyone else?

Hi Nils,

That's a nice chunky rhythm guitar sound. Is the lead solo played on a synth? Which part(s) did you play?

Indeed it feels very up-beat. That has picked me up on a late Autumn evening, while working at my computer.

Cheers!

All of it is me. The synth is solo played on my XP-30, guitars on a Les Paul and a Strat copy, drums on XP-30 as well.

Hey, nice job putting that together.

I thought the drumming felt pretty natural. Do you use MIDI drum pad triggers, ala eDrum?

eDrum is definitely on my to-build list.

edit - What do you think of the XP-30? Does it still compare favourably as a workhorse synth these days? i guess that would be your main control keyboard, yeah? Do you have some expansion ROMs for it?

[nILS]

Until I get the eDrum off the queue I am playing the drums on the keyboard. Left hand does the hihat and cymbals, right hand does bass drum and snare.

The XP-30 is working nicely for me. Does all I need it to and lots more :-)

While I'm in the genre ;) Here's a bunch of remixes.
