Adding extra crunch

In order to make Piñata’s drop as impactful as possible, Robbie uses an extra layer of processing on the main synth flute lead on the drop: “In the drop we bounce the flute down to audio and add some more distortion and OTT – we just wanted it to sound a little different in the drop and just punch through even more” he enthuses. ”We’re using D16 Devastor, which just adds a little bit of crunch – it’s not doing tons, but it helps it stick out and sound a little different from the break”.
