All synths in this song were generated entirely using FL Studio's "Beepmap" plugin, which uses images to generate sound. Only the two provided images were used, in various ways, to form different types of sounds.
"BeepMap, translates the red color into the amplitude of a sine wave on the left channel and green colors into a sine wave on the right channel. Yellow, a mixture of red and green will therefore sound equally on both channels. The frequency of each sine wave depends on its vertical position in the bitmap. Optionally, the blue component is used to define the frequency range per pixel."
I've used Beepmap before but never like this! It was fun trying to see what kind of sounds I could get out of it.
