Mini Synth Ambient Soundscape - Behringer Pro VS Mini / Volca Keys / Bass / Nubass / Rhythmizer

This is a creepy Ambient Soundscape track created with all of my smallest synths, just in time for spooky season! I wanted to try something different with this one so I've used Futurephonic Rhythmizer Ultra to generate semi-random midi in a Harmonic Minor key to feed the synths instead of my usual sequenced approach.

The Behringer Pro VS Mini is the main pad here, with an additional layer of texture provided by passing the same midi to the Korg Volca Keys (which starts out muted). I'm adjusting the balance between the two with the volume knobs and filter cutoff. Both synths are sent to Bleass Shimmer, which is a super affordable and great sounding shimmer reverb.

The Korg Volca Bass is the main bass pad here, with reverb provided by Native Instruments Raum. The Volca Nubass provides a more attack-forward bass, and it's ehanced with delay from Baby Audio's Baby Comeback and Native Instruments' Raum. Both are great sounding free plugins. Both bass channels are fed by a second channel of Rhythmizer with similar settings to the first channel so that the basses match each other and compliment the higher pads, and again, I'm using mostly volume and cutoff to balance everything and provide an evolving soundscape over time.
