Get ready to TRANSFORM!

Department of Transformation (2020)

Department of Transformation was made on October 9, 2019 and formerly called "XR". For months, I was trying to figure out how I could take the GarageBand synths from the iOS version to the macOS version. I discovered if I squeezed as much synths as I can on a .band file with no MIDI data in it, then send the .band file to the GarageBand on my MacBook (yeah I'm quite the Apple hipster, deal with it), then I could use the synths only on the iOS version of GarageBand, in the macOS version of GarageBand too, which I'm more familiar with.

I was so happy with these new synths, I played around with them straight away, and made this in 2 or 3 hours. You can clearly hear the GarageBand iOS synths here if you've used that program before; this track was made in excitement with the new sounds I have, so I didn't really pay close attention to automation data / turning knobs etc.

I hope you enjoy it!
