Project 3

Pattern 1 was made using the FPC with a setting of Ambient Groove 9. This was used for the entire loop. For Pattern 2 I opened SymSynth and put a D4 note in, I preceded to open the riff machine and after "rolling the dice" a few times I found a sound I liked. This was also used for the entire loop.
For the automation, I used the SVF Cut on my SymSynth . I had it sloping up and down with curved lines (at 17-62-22-62-28-73-17-47-17%) , it went up four times and down three times, the last thing I did was add a straight slope down to the level where I had started (17%) so the sound would mesh properly when it restarted the loop.

Project 2

I began with SimSynth and opened up the riff machine (I think that is what I used because the folder for the chop tool wasn't working) and found a pattern I liked. I then added some drums in with the kick, snare, and hat. Finally I used the bass plug for the FL Slayer and put in sounds to match the SimSynth pattern. I apologize if I haven't been using correct terminology or if I could have used better words, I can't remember what is what and I didn't want to use terminology incorrectly. I also wasn't sure how to describe how I did the drums and bass as far as what went where.
