This is an album I made with free VST instruments and effects. The tunes/tracks are very short, around one minute along, so that should be a quick listen. As usual, it's "melodic electronica".
If you prefer to watch things while the music is playing, here's a youtube playlist of the whole album:

BPM is 76, key is C Natural Minor.
I made this tune in about a day, going for simple chord progressions, adding some instruments to build up the sound, and then putting a lead for the melody. The VSTs in this track are Crystal and Phenome. I also made use of a "Power Chord" electric guitar sample set.Ugo Capetohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03888707121210420415noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4769769306303113180.post-11384933172711061712013-06-15T12:33:00.000-07:002013-06-15T12:34:37.535-07:00Ugo Capeto - Calypso (melodic electronica)
BPM is 68. Key is G Major.
I made this track with basically two VSTs: Crystal and Phenome. Phenome is a cool free VST that's multitimbral (8 channels), which is cool since you can load just one instance of Phenome and use "MIDI OUT" channels to get all the voices.Ugo Capetohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03888707121210420415noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4769769306303113180.post-22756869733701040852013-06-09T14:44:00.001-07:002013-06-09T14:58:26.991-07:00Ugo Capeto - Fuel (melodic electronica)
For what it's worth, this an E Major track (80 bpm).
I would like to thank the fine folks at IK Multimedia for SampleTank Free and the people behind the Crystal VST (that would be Green Oak). Dare I say that without SampleTank and Crystal, making this tune wouldn't have been possible, I think.

After an extended hiatus focusing on Nintendo Korg DS-10 music (see Home of the Korg DS-10), I, Ugo Capeto, am back with my DAW of choice (FL Studio), my free VSTs, and this short tune in D minor.
This tune was done in a couple of days. No more spending weeks working on a single tune.
I am sorry to report that compression due to streaming has really distorted some sounds, especially the one Ugo Capetohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03888707121210420415noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4769769306303113180.post-84158733594588471112012-09-30T11:59:00.001-07:002012-11-12T12:27:40.436-08:00Ugo Capeto - Mood (melodic electronica)
Unlike most of my tunes which take about two weeks or more to complete, this one was done over the week-end with longer sessions. Just like a painter that draws a sketch to capture the moment, I started this tune with the idea of not overworking anything, especially on the melody front.
Most of the track was done putting down the rhythm first with some percussion and a bass line; then the Ugo Capetohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03888707121210420415noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4769769306303113180.post-45243788891161876232012-08-31T18:17:00.000-07:002012-09-07T11:09:48.630-07:00Ugo Capeto - Midway (remix by justoneguyinhisbedroom)

Yeah, I have decided not to make videos for my tunes anymore, so, for this track and any that may come afterwards, it's just an embedded soundcloud player. Visualization videos are cool but I don't think there are too many people listening to chill, downtempo tunes on youtube. Well, at least, my chill, downtempo tunes.
Soundcloud is pretty cool although:

Well, I guess I just can't help being a little bit over the top. It has a little bit of a chiptune feeling thanks to the square wave of the SampleTank Start Synth of the Moog Concertmate MG-1.

The name was chosen for no real good reason, except that it's a Floyd 2-CD live album (the one that came with a blinking led although the one I have doesn't have it, a real bummer). It seems I am getting rather minimalist as I've only used 2 channels for this instrumental. Well, 3 if you count the drum channel which is there just to drown a not so Ugo Capetohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03888707121210420415noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4769769306303113180.post-70885484275223961602011-11-13T13:34:00.001-08:002012-04-12T11:42:13.868-07:00Ugo Capeto - Accent (melodic electronica)Minimalist but still quite melodic tune. Only 3 VST plugins have been used to make this song. They are:- DSK Darkness Theory - Chrissmass-day (typo included). It's a bellish xylophonish kinda of sound which I really like (in general);- DSK BassZ - Yamaha Bass;- FPC - a couple of downtempo drum loops and one drum and bass.I think there's a nice little hook in there (2:02 to 2:17).

With FL Studio 9, I've always had problems exporting to WAV as, for some reasons, there is always some high frequency artifacts showing up. The WAV rendering seems to be much better with FL Studio 10 but maybe I need to write many more tunes to be 100% sure. In all cases, it's a good reason to switch to FL Studio 10.Let's go back to Ugo Capetohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03888707121210420415noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4769769306303113180.post-17195642396676120822011-09-10T16:38:00.001-07:002012-04-12T11:43:44.982-07:00Ugo Capeto - Excelsior (melodic electronica)Another track is in the can!VST plugins used (I disclose everything about my tracks):- DSK ElektriK Keys (Dreamy Wurli),- DSK ORANZE (OranZe pad 02 gate),- FPC (a few breakbeat drum loops),- DSK Asian DreamZ (Luan),- DSK Asian DreamZ (Pipa),- DSK AkoustiK Guitar (Acoustic Guitar), and- DSK ElectriK GuitarZ (Strat Marshall).I have chosen not to use any particular effects on this track.

For some reason, I wanted to have a lot of slides in this tune, hence the title.
I have used the following VST plugins:
- FPC (Fruity Pad Controller) for the drum loops. Yeah, I am really not a drumming kind of a guy, so any help I can get, I take.
- Pompadur (DSK Tech Synth Pro). Had to lower the cutoff frequency to get rid of that high pitch artifact coming from the slide action.

The instrument VST plugins used for this tune are:

- "Synth Bass 01" from DSK BassZ
- FPC (Fruity Pad Controller)
- "A Piano" from DSK Darkness Theory (ambient synth)
- "Christmas Day" from DSK Darness Theory (ambient synth)
Not sure what happened but I didn't feel the need to add any FX plugins, not even a tiny bit of reverb.
