Synthetic Garden

Submission for the Synth Jam 2024 https://itch.io/jam/synth-jam

How to get started

• Choose a plant as an instrument by clicking on it with your mouse
  • You can change your choice at any time
• /!\ ALL THE OTHER CONTROLS, ASIDE FROM THE PLANT SELECTION, ARE ON THE KEYBOARD ONLY /!\

• You can play by pressing the "E", "R", "T", "Y" keys

• The weather gauge allows you to choose different atmospheres
  • The cloudy one will usually give you more bass-like sounds, and the sunny one, brighter sounds
  • You can choose a weather with the arrows on your keyboard (left, up, right)
• You can choose between deeper/reverb-y sounds or noisy sounds by pressing the "space" bar on your keyboard, it will toggle between the two square yellow buttons

How to use the step sequencer

• Start recording by pressing "Q"
• Choose the step (from 1 to 8) you want to record a sound on
• Then play your chosen sound
• Continue until you're done
• If you mistakenly recorded something on a step and you want to leave it empty, just press its number again and it will turn off
• When you're done, press "Q" again to stop recording
• Press "Enter" to play the sequence, and "Enter" to stop
• While the sequence is playing, you can keep playing using the  "E", "R", "T", "Y" keys from any plant with any weather
• If you want to stop everything, press "Backspace" on your keyboard to reset everything

Press "Escape" to leave

Combine all the sounds as you want, and have fun :)

The sounds are samples I recorded off the Korg Volca FM 2.
