A “cheerful all-MIDI 1970 synth pop style with synth bass, synth brass, electric piano, and an echo sweep pad. Enthusiastic pop drums are played with a standard drum kit.” Right. Let’s just say Talking Heads. https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/house-party So, I ran the midi from that style through various "retro" synths, emulating classic synths of the 80s era like the Yamaha DX-7 and Prophet 5, along with bass synths. I am playing the guitar. Midi drums are rum through session drummer with loads of effects. As the song progresses, I begin to layer in some stuff from the Android style in Xtra Styles Pak 2. Intentionally, I did not push the volume on this but strove for an 80s mix. It went through extensive mixing, then I used Ozone 8 elements to first give it a 14 LUFS starting point and used “tight and punchy” afterwards with some adjustments. It was mixed in Cakewalk by Bandlab with a compressor, tube emulator and tape emulator on the master bus. Hope you have fun.

Really though, I'm actually quite happy you also went for the midi category, it only increases the chances of others giving it some attention, and (hopefully) encourages PG to pick up on that with more midi styles in the future, of any kind p.s. A quick tech question if I may: You used the RD drums throughout or is there also some plugin drums in there? Last edited by Icelander; 08/14/18 04:24 AM.

There are midi drums from the beginning run through Session Drummer in Cakewalk. I think the midi patch if I am not mistaken is power drums, but whatever it is I liked it and it is the most prominent drum sound you hear through the first chorus, only run through Session drummer with tons of effects and reverb. I wanted it to sound 80s and I think I got it.

I agree with Icelander in that the more people that use MIDI may might occur to PGMusic to generate more MIDI styles.

Aha, I thought there was something not quite as that RT style and now you confirm it, very good. And yes, the result is still quite convincing.. I mean, you had my ear second guessing, heh Originally Posted By: David Snyder I wanted it to sound 80s and I think I got it. Most definitely!
