Vaporwave Bass Effects Superthread

@Azure Skies I permit you to use my Vaporwave test track as a demo file for the Wishing Star... LOL
Packaging will look like this:

So, here is a test I just did one my first try with the Minilogue's ARP preset demo sequencer track. I think using this kind of demo will make it super elevator style vaporwave. I'm nor 100% happy with it, but it was just to try it out. I think I'm onto something here in the absence of a drum machine.


If you have a way to slice up your sample, there are plenty of sounds in there you could use for drum sounds. You could totally get a kick and snare out of that track to use as a base for future vaporwaving.

Yeah, I can slice it up easily. That's sort of what I would do in the future. Plus, all of this is using only the Wondelrove as an effect. No compression, no dirt, no H9s. All the dirt came from the Minilogue's filter. So, if actually put in some effort, I could get even more sounds.
 
All the demos sound amazing and I am really looking forward to it. My ONE nagging concern is that I got caught up in the hype and didn't do a ton of research, and I appreciate now more than a did a few months ago or even last month when I ordered it that I'm paying at least a little bit of a premium for analogue, which ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Like maybe a digital synth in the $500-1k range might have been more of what I actually wanted. But again, everything I've heard sounds great and I think I'm going to have a lot of fun.
 
If you still have it you need to use it in order to properly #V A P O R W A V E

I'll check when I go to my parents' house, but while they may still have the cables, the adapter itself was probably sent to the recycling centre years ago.

@Adamixoye if I find the cables, do you want to purchase beige MOJO midi cables for the 80s? 45$ each.
