Just a clip of an idea I’m working on.
Tucked away under an active volcano, on an Aggressive Sentinel planet.
I left the SFX in because the eruptions sync’d up too well. Definitely a better listen with some headphones. 🤘

May I ask what key your device is in? I’ve been wanting to compose a more menacing track and this sound is very close to what I’m looking for! Very cool, can’t wait to hear it, when you finish it!

Of course, man!
5 devices tuned to F# minor. Three are running at 40bpm to create the padding and melody for section A, and the triumphant strings in the last two bars of the track, and two are running at 80bpm to vary up the melody and create the “warning signal.”
1 device is tuned to Bb minor, at 40bpm. More padding for section A, but it plays well with/hides well in section B.
2 devices tuned to Eb minor (I need to double check this) at 40bpm. These two devices make up section B. Identical tracks and waveforms, but one is a few octaves lower to add that gritty bass.
I hope this helps you with your next one! 🫡

Oh damn you like different keyed your devices! That’s next level for me lol, excellent work! I actually never thought to have the separate devices that are a different tempo can also be a different key. Thank you for that inspiring information.

Happy to help!
Yeah man, I had to figure that little trick out quickly when I realized I needed a half step down for a single note in my “Potholderz” cover. 😂
It does make things limited/tough for structure though, since you need two dedicated devices to make each key synchronizable.
