🎹 Stranger MidiTablism!

🎯 A precisely located synth bass note within the song Sweet Dreams is played by the arpeggiator with MidiTablism techniques in a morphing transition recreating the iconic bass line from Stranger Things. ✨

🧬 The arpeggio sounds so effective because both songs were produced with the legendary Roland Juno-6 synthesizer.
