Grimes Remake Projects

This pack contains the Genesis and Oblivion remake Ableton Live Projects featured in my Grimes Synth Sounds article, as well a bonus remake of Visiting Statue (also from Visions) which I created for the article but ultimately didn’t include.

These are fun projects with lots of creative effects. Most of the original synth sounds come from the Roland Juno-G hardware synthesizer, and I managed to find most of the original presets and recreated them either using software synths like TAL U-NO-LX and Arturia Mini V or by using samples recorded from the Juno-G.
