Time to combine everything - drums, bass, melody, effects, and automation - into a full track!

The full picture

What's happening here?

• Drums - 909 kit with kick, hats, snare/claps.
• Bass - acoustic bass with an automated filter sweep.
• Melody - in-scale guitar with reverb.
• Pad - slow "oohs" with lots of reverb for atmosphere.

Step 1 - Play it

Swap effects over time using < and >:
