I was doing some spelunking through the latest firmware update for the Arturia Origin synth, and came across an arpeggiated patch that really caught my ear. I tweaked and recorded a quick sketch to add to a database for organizing some of the ideas around a personal music project (which you’ll eventually see and hear on my other site – LPHovercraft.org). I thought it would be a cool sound to use in a desktop sound scheme, and found that I could simply set the Thunderbird email client to sound off any audio file when new mail arrives. So now this is my “you’ve got mail” indicator – and so I thought I’d share it. You can download it here.
