#xp-10

This is an old track (more than 20 years old) made on my XP-10 and MC-50 sequencer. I used it as the source material for this week's Disquiet Junto, so thought I'd give the original an airing as well. You can wring some decent sounds out of the XP-10, with a good bit of editing and some SYS-EX diving.

This week's Junto is to make a 10 bpm waltz. I was limited on time this week, so I took a really old (21 years?) track of mine, made on my old XP-10 synth, which was called 'sleeping' and was in 3/4 time at 60bpm. I slowed this down six times using different settings in Paulstretch and then layered and EQd the three versions. I cut the opening off, as it was just a sound of heavy breathing which went on way too long in the slowed version, and then faded each part out separately to allow it to drift off gently.
