Sequencing
This electronic pop song follows the ABABCB verse/chorus form. The piece is about appreciating being the one you care deeply about on a starry night, despite any difference there may have been in the past. The instrument used as the melody substitutes for vocals that would be in place.
The tracks on the song in Pro Tools have been categorized into percussive (blue), melodies (green), and instrumentals (orange).
The modulation wheel causes the melody to produce a variety of sounds with cutoffs and decay. This is demonstrated mostly in the bridge.
The Xpand!2 plugin, along with the vast selection of instruments, has a panel that helps control the attack, decay, release, cutoff, envelope, and tuning of the instruments. These open up many more possibilities to sounds that can be used.
