Shoom Sandwich
All synth sounds played in Shroom on the glass. Patterning for drums. I wrote this in response to a comment I read somewhere that Shoom wasn't an expressive app. I think it can be whatever you want it to be
EDIT: Swapped in a new, less "Hey, DRUMS!" version of mix. The old one is still available for anyone interested in Good Mr. Goodyear's wonderfully expressive comment three posts down. If thunderous drums while straining to hear a fuzz bass is more your thing

Indeed. @eustressor. I think it actually epitomizes expressive. Lots of different ways to use it. True of many apps, but it's why Shoom was an immediate purchase for me. I could see how to use it expressively before I purchased it
@eustressor, yep I read that too, your work proves the opposite, I really enjoyed your track, shows that shoom ain't just for drones, it's really a very versatile synth.
Not certain what expression you were expressly expressing but it felt was exceptionally expressive but then you are the expert etc.
nice track! and definitely, shoom can do much more than drones. In fact, the versatility of it is part of its beauty and elegance in my opinion.
This is what I needed to hear to convince me to buy Shoom. Thanks, I think.
Great tune!
Thanks @TozBourne - I botched the mix, though. Spent all day today reworking it to where you can actually HEAR the synths. But, yeah, highly recommended - drones and ambience are just a starting point
@eustressor very cool dude! I had to listen a couple times, then load up shoom to see how you were getting so much control with your note compositions. I can see how you can get there for sure... but you've been with the app longer than most of us yeah?
Anyway, sweet stuff. Please share any tips you've learned in the testing phase. I'm interested in some of the settings in the "Session Settings" section.
I was pretty confident you'd be all over this app
Thank you - this mix is all muddy drums, my bad for not referencing it a few times before posting I agree, this synth has more than 3 layers of depth to it
Thank you! Certainly it lends itself to ambient soundscapes, but the sound engine and ease of use makes Shoom a serious all-purpose synth with a great interface
Thank you for your kind words. Funny thing is, I didn't know about the zoom functionality until I saw Yuri's promo vid a few days before the beta went live ... so everything I did up to that point was full screen, LOL! All those whacked out preset suggestions were played out on the big screen, so to speak.
Maybe we could turn one of our many Shoom threads into a Shoom's World or World of Shoom thread, i.e,
Shoom's World: Presets, Tips and Trax!
... Where everyone can share presets as they like, or tips they've discovered, or post their tracks (hopefully not so many they crash the screen) but, y'know, kinda one stop shopping for this app, its regular users and people who are thinking about getting into it. Maybe?
Tip #1 - Zoom, coupled with the pitch lock and a pre-defined (i.e., non-chromatic) scale are your best friends for coaxing out melodies. Try setting drones to your liking on layers one and two, then on layer three, zoom into a two octave area with a specific scale and tap away - that's how, say, a guitarist, can squeeze a poorman's Jon Lord keyboard solo into a track, LOL!
Tip #1a - Pay attention to the Y axis modulation options, both for existing presets and when rolling your own. For instance, the "wah" on that fuzz bass tone I created was generated by sliding up the Y axis.
Tip #2 - Regarding Session Settings, in general, sessions save your preset assignments per layer, as well as the volume settings in the master level control and your specific scale assignments. Pretty handy, not having to reload any of that and just pick up where you left off. It does not, however, remember held notes or anything like that. You can save the canvas, not the paint
EDIT.
To quote from the Masters ... "Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!"
zoom feature? Where's that? I looked at the video on his site and didn't see anything. Just did a quick scan of the manual and didn't see anything called a "zoom" feature. Is it called something else?
Doesn't he mean the slidey thing on the bottom?
OH SNAP!!! That thing slides and zooms?! Oh HELL yeah!!!
Thanks!
See, like I said, the slidey thing...
