Not sure if this actually evokes a sense of space but it's definitely made with Snippets. I plan to use this for a tutorial.
With electronic music 80% or so is about sound. The first step in my workflow is therefore mining for sounds until I have five or six sounds that complement each other well. The entire workflow is as follows.
- Select 5 - 6 sounds that complement each other
- Browse or generate phrases and populate the grid
- Check which phrases and sounds match best (move Snippets around)
- Throw the dice and fill memory slots with combinations that sound fine
- Edit individual snippets, mute symbols, stretch, transpose, etc
- Improvise an arrangement using the memory buttons
- Create an arrangement from the last session
Sound used: UVI Falcon, Wave Alchemy Triaz (Drums), Sprike, NI Pharlight (Voives)

Absolutely. Finding good examples takes time though. Snippets can be mistaken for live loops (or whatever each DAW calls them). Cramming the unique capabilities of Synfire into a single example and making them in-the-face obvious for an unprepared audience is hard.

Cool composition. Reminds me a lot of μ-Ziq (Royal Astronomy in particular).
Looking forward to the Snippets tutorial(s). I know that Snippets will be a focus, but please make some tutorials explaining the parameters for Factories. The functions for most of the Factory parameters are obvious. But it would be great to get some clarification, especially for those parameters for which the function is less apparent.
