8-Bit Space Invasion - A Straturday Improvisation
Here is another #straturday improvisation on a couple of my strat style guitars. For this one I used my Eventide Pitchfactor to produce all the 8-bit retro synth sounds. Previously it was impossible to control this complex pedal but now there is an H9 software that can control all aspects of the pedal. This one pedal has so many options on it that you can create a whole song around some of it's unique effects.
The first track on my G&L ASAT is a step sequencer effect that creates a rhythm with each note. I used this rhythm to program the drums around it. The next track is on my Stratocaster Plus and it uses a motorcycle synth effect with some reverb on it to soften it up a bit. There is a tiny track in the middle on my G&L ASAT 30th Anniversary guitar that uses a video game style phaser with a step sequencer on it. Next is a track on my G&L Fallout that is an octaver that creates 8 harmonious pitches per note, almost sounding like an organ. The final track is on my home-made partsocaster with a bitcrush distortion and some reverb and delay on it.
Overall this song reminds me of old 8-bit game soundtracks something like a space flying game where you dodge asteroids and spaceships then collect power ups. Thanks for listening #straturday

There was definitely a Mario brother or two in that one!
I'll have to try a moody boss fight kupa song in this style.
Congratz with 4 July!)
Seems pretty low key this year so far, people are still scared of the rona virus.
Heh) In Ukraine also little storm. People are calm one day, but another day not a calm. But I stay positive and look on this like on game. All we play big game, but main thing to understand this and know rules of this game.
In any case, have a great evening (day) with guitar))
Yeah its like a big game of who can tell the biggest lies and lead the biggest heard of people lol. I'll be content with my guitar playing in the meantime.
Fun stuff. Definitely sounded like some of the arcade games I used to play and I remember the originals.
Rock on!
Some of the tracking on that pedal introduced some interesting unintended artifacts, fortunately it went along with the bitcrushed sound.
Cute music and video ;))
Thanks for listening :-)
