Todays work

Started today by creating the breakdown synth used later in the song, i initialised the patch on an instance of thor and then created the sound from there, i understand that it is too early to be thinking about the synth at this stage, but i had an idea in my head and believe it sounds perfect so that is saved for later.

Next on my list was that i created the hand clap and compressed it to make it sound punchier, like in the original song, and wrote the notes in as for the first 4 "blocks" on the sequencer, the hand clap is the only "drum" instrument playing.

i quickly produced a simple wah-like synth so i could compare all the different parts added together, i only played around with a preset, changing the drive, frequency and oscillator octaves.

I started to create "synth 1" which i tried to recreate myself my initialising a thor and adding all wavetable oscillators and playing around, i believe i got reasonably far, i just need to EQ or fine tune the sound some more.

lastly today i created the bass sound which was relatively simple, an initialised thor and 2 analog oscillators,  turn down the frequency and then automate the frequency to get the "reverse" effect.

This is how my sequencer looks at this point:

And the rack:
