Favourite patch palettes
Another game
Pick a primary foreground, primary background, secondary foreground, secondary background (as if we're doing a colour palette) patch from any synths you like on iOS. All presets here, only presets - so other people can go and try out the combinations you suggest, to see what you see in it.
- In other words, primary foreground is what it says - foreground, and the main front sound. Pick a patch, from a synth.
- Primary background is the one that can sit behind it when the other is also sounding. They work together and complement. Pick a patch, from a synth.
- Secondary fore and back, they're heard at other times in other areas of a song when the primaries are having their rest - same thing, pick as patch each, from a synth each.
Two (pri fore + pri back) are heard together, and should work together in space. The other two (sec fore + sec back) also. Then those pairs are heard alternately and should work together in time. Let's have your favourite patch sets (presumably from different iOS synths, but doesn't have to be, could all be the same iOS synth). Let's leave hardware synths out of here for the time being, as well as drums. Stick to presets.
It is like defining a colour palette.

Nice one.
I'm guessing I'll still be stuck in a Rodin-like pose while you guys are rattling off stuff left and right, but an excellent exercise..
Bumping this because I was interested in browsing/judging the replies. Nothing to contribute as of now because I don't tend to use presets, but next fiddle I'll have a go.
I get it. You buggers all have super sekrit combos but you're damned if you'll share. Harumph.....!
IKaossilator doesn't have volume control but here's my combo: Autowah bass, backbeater for chords, Rez lead, and unison lead. Ultimate dance cheese. Put whatever drums
Fun question.
Clarification on FG/BG please: Is the BG sound something that would be played in unison with the FG (as a stack) or is it more along the lines of FG=melody and BG=chords?
Yes. Foregrounds sit on top of or nearer to you than backgrounds. They're concurrent and indicate depth (or parallax) when combined like that.
Primary is a certain section or division of the song that you'd remember or whistle, secondary is other glue bits in between that don't characterise the song but have to be there to get to the next memorable bit. Not quite like verse chorus, but if you want to think of it that way, perhaps. If you're thinking in terms of classical or experimental, maybe not that then.
In other words:
Foregrounds and backgrounds = same time, two different paints that mean something together.
Primary and secondary = two different times or modes of the same story being told.
