Hybrid keys - blend changing by itself.

Trying to keep a really dull sound for a certain piece of music and so the blend is at 80/20 but after a few notes it keeps jumping back to more like 50/50.

Is it trying to tell me music is awful lol?

    That's right... 'A' stands for Aweful and 'B' stands for Boring 😂

    It has to be some automation somewhere in the track. Did you try creating a new track with a fresh instance of Hybrid and laying down the same part?

    No I didn't try it. Tbh I am actually just practicing "Everything in it's right place" by Radiohead and I want this dull sound that I can get through 'emotional piano' So I am not even recording tbh.

    Might have a look at the automation side of things.

    Thankyou for your reply.

    Couldn't recreate that. It's not the right sound anyway.

    Edit: sent you a zip but you could just make it yourself...

    Load Emotional Piano. Put 'Tape Culture' in the A layer, and put 'Tape E-Piano' in the B layer. Roll back the Release and Cutoff to about 11 oclock and turn off the effects. Keep the A/B somewhere in the middle. Almost an identical sound.

    Thanks a lot. I am pretty new to piano having been a guitarist and house DJ all my life. Last couple of years maschine and so really just the last year I have started dabbling with my a49.


    Thanks again I'll try that.

    It took me about 15 minutes to get those first 3 chords. Finally realized it's the left hand moving from C->C#->D#, Phrygian.

    I was using this buddy.

    I am just at the intro stage still.

    Yeah I think that's effectively the chords I was playing.

    It's a Rhodes sound, but the one on the track has somethng extra giving it some resonance, so that high C really holds on.
