☑️ Key take-aways / main elements of the sound
* Round kick (warm round kicks)
* Low toms
* Sustained pitched moog bass (Glides in leads ’n arps, bass - add lots of “feeling” to sounds)
* “Horn-style” pads
* Fast Mono plucks
* Long dreamy, pitched glide lead synth (serum here, Ben often uses diva)
* CHORDS Often 2 chord tracks (more freedom, sometimes 3 chords)
* Main arp for melody (noisy parts in plucks) / (ben likes DIVA) Organic feels through velocities.
* Often: short vocal “Shots”
* Drums: rather organic, natural feel
* Shakers, Hats (stereo in hats (ran-pan))
* Rides
* Snappy clap (or long layered clap with reverb tail (in his live sets))
* FX “groovy, zappy, glitchy” elements
* Resampling own projects
