    Okay, I finally gave in and signed up on the Patreon. Your stuff is very inspiring. While I don't use a lot of the same software, because Surge XT is the most accessible synth for a screen reader with sound design chops, so I suspect your presets won't do me as much good. I've actually got a track that I made inspired by listening to your tutorials. While it's a bit different, and not pure as I also added three viola tracks I played, I think it achieves some good stuff.
    I'm looking forward to becoming part of your community of listeners, creators and students.

    Thanks bro, welcome back! You're making the best videos on ambient. Hope you hit 10k soon you deserve it.
    I create traditional ceramic flutes of my ancestors and want to encorporate these into my sound design. Have started learning synthesis to bring more musicality. Now I have to focus on the journey my music takes the listener on without being flat and boring.

  • @martinleduc3210

    Love your work! I always dream of creating a pad (patch) that gets gradually textured to the point where some dynamic rhythms emerge from the general movement of the texture itself. I just tried interpolation in Max 8.5 lately with the object pattrstorage, but it doesn't interpolate the [VST3] object. If you are interested in that idea, i'd love to have your expert point of view on it. Maybe it's not possible to "quantize" and "unquantize" this type of "spectrotemporal organic" evolution, from texture to rhythms. Just a challenge, from the dream to the real! Thanks again for your publications. Martin

      Stepic is also available as a VST. It works in any DAW except FL Studio due to the way FL handles cc’s…
