This Patch Sounds Like a Rainy City at Night

Music-Video | Mär 28, 2026

Rainy city at night! This time I’m using different oscillators again for pads & lead sounds. On top of that there’s a lot of generated synth rain with droplets and noise.

Signal Drift

Rainy neon and restless synths turn this piece into less of a song and more of a weather system. Pads, lead tones, and generated droplets blur together while a self-randomizing step sequencer keeps shifting the skyline every few bars. It lands somewhere between ambient music and late-night sci-fi, with just enough motion to feel alive. A perfect backdrop for anyone who likes their sound design a little soggy and slightly sentient.

I took the old idea from the previous video and pushed it a bit further. The raindrops and wind sounds create a really nice vibe, and they’re made entirely from noise and filter movements, they actually make up most of the patch. The rest I filled out with some drones and a random noise generator.

I tried to use as few sound sources as possible for the pad and relied mainly on all-pass filters to stretch the sound and make it behave like a pad, even though it’s just a sine bleep every few seconds.

I just built a cool drone in the Grid again, with a ton of pads and a lead sound that randomly plays every now and then. There are also some random FX sounds, plus a little wind and rain machine.

For the patch, I recorded my own vocals, of course, all nicely processed with reverb and packed them into the sampler. I also added some water sounds that I generate with filters. There are water droplets too, so it all kind of reminds me of a cave system on some alien planet. I kept the atmosphere pretty static, meaning there aren't many melodies or anything like that.

On a stormy evening, as rain poured relentlessly from the charcoal sky, Ava found herself standing on the outskirts of the city, a hidden meadow untouched by the mechanical tendrils of progress.

This dark and rainy cityscape is the perfect backdrop for a future that is both melancholic and depressing. The city skylines are filled with ambient drones and noises, making it the perfect soundtrack for a rainy day. The city is hot and filled with bad air, but there is still hope.
