Dive into Ambient Bliss: Roland Aira S1 Arp exploration with Korg Volca FM.
This 5minute video takes you on a sonic journey through ambient textures, crafted with the powerful Roland Aira S1 and the versatile Volca FM synthesizer. Witness the S1's arpeggiator in action, as it generates evolving patterns that form the foundation of the soundscape.
The Korg Volca FM complements the S1 with its rich FM synthesis capabilities, adding depth and complexity to the evolving ambience, with another unsynced arpeggio that creates an ever evolving texture.
Sit back, relax, and let the mesmerizing sounds wash over you.

HOW I DID IT (Simple Tutorial)
Activate the Roland S1's arpeggiator and choose the arpeggio type you prefer.
No sequencer needed: to engage the arpeggiator, activate the Hold button, then on the keyboard push all the notes you want to play at once.
I used the Filter LFO to create an evolving effect (to make it quicker I started with a presets that comes with one of the default patterns, but you can easily program your own sound).
You can tweak the Filter and the Effects knobs in real time to create sound variations.
On the Volca FM I prerecorded a simple pattern in the internal sequencer, using the preset "Glassbell".
I didn't sync the two units because I wanted the two patterns to interact in an unpredictable way.
I used the transpose slider on the FM to create melodic variations in real time.
In the final part I messed up with the tempo by slowing down both units at different pace.
