Project 7 - Sine Wave and Saw Wave in Sytrus

For this project, I delved into Sytrus and started making a saw wave based sound which you hear at the beginning and is the main theme for the loop. I also used a panning effect utilizing the keyboard mapping in filter one so the lower notes are in the left ear and the higher notes are in the right ear which some notes are centered. I preferred a short attack on the this synth because the sweeping in didn't make the statement I was looking for. After the song rolls along for a little while, I introduce the sound I made in Sytrus with a sine wave. This uses a slight attack sweep along with a pitch sweep to add that cool effect. The contrast between the rough saw wave and the smooth sine wave offers a nice variation which is why I chose to layer them rather than feature them in separate parts.
