hi all
Thanks I ve got some pm asking about the processing.

Here a short description for some questions:

Chords: 2 synths playing the same chord, a roland JX3P playing the piano stab and the dsi evolver playing the same one. The chord Pattern is switching between those two sounds.
Chords run through Long hall reverb to give a kind of background pad feel.

Melody line is coming also from the evolver. Just a few notes running through different delay setting to give some changes.
Drums percussion: hit hat, snare are sampled and run through the MPC to give a more analog warm feeling. The 16steps hat that push the track is humanized by using volume and filter automation. Also bitcrushing at 12/8bit helps to give analog/dirty touch.

Great work, I really like the melody. The hi hats/crashes sound a little plain, try maybe editing their velocity (a little more?) so it's a little more bouncy. Also the snare could be a little more powerful, it leaves me wanting a stronger punch. The chords are wonderful, overall it's a very good track.
