Click on the cover to grab Stage Selection chiptune single. It is my latest beat from Rock 128 8-bit album that has been inspired by Mega Man retro video game. I produced the album on a single pocket synthesizer, called PO-128. The PO-128 or Pocket Operator 128 Mega Man edition is a limited pocket instrument produced by Teenage Engineering. Please read the linked article above to deep-dive the benefits of this tool.
About the production of Stage Selection
Stage Selection is one of the songs that I have recorded during the production. As you can see in the video, it was indeed fully produced on a single micro-tool. I recorded every sound as is with my Tascam microphone via line-in. I only played with EQs and added a slight reverb to make it sound dope.
Space Man (demo)
Another song is part of Stage Selection demo. This is the demo or first record version of Space Man that I have released on Rock 128 chiptune album. I recorded both beats live and made both videos available for you today.
The same goes for this song as the single title beat: it was recorded with the help of PO-128. I was eager to learn the use of this synthesizer so I started working on an album. During the production I learnt how to glide and use vibrate that are the key special effects of this tool. Furthermore I understood the differences compare to the PO-33, which is more a sampler. Even though both share the same layout, one must learn how to use them.
