120bpm – one of those loops I can listen to over and over – A hypnotic tune made with FL Studio Mobile on iPhone. I started this a couple years ago playing around getting used to the app again after utilizing it in my early music journals What journal (3) and especially What journal (2nd wave) and then left the piece to work on other things. Today I revisited it and decided to make a recording, so people can listen to it.

Uses the in-app instruments GMSynth (Electric preset), MiniSynth (Science preset), DW Sampler (DX10 FM Key preset in 2 instances, one pitched up an octave), and drums. I copy/pasted 3 repetitions and added a simplified ending.
