miau - Dark Voltage (One Synth Challenge #168)

Felt like jumping out of the rut by joining OSC on its last two days! It definitely got me moving, though I wasn't able to dig into the sound design with as much nuance as I wanted (especially since the khs fx were legal!) Perhaps it's for the best. Today I bring some practice writing synthy rock and then noodling with it at dnb tempo. There wasn't enough time to really polish it or solo over it, but I'm still happy. If the mix sucks that's my excuse :D

All sounds generated from 20 instances of ONE. Despite the name, it's... a polysynth. The saws sound pretty good and I would reach for this for chords and distorted leads. Though, creating all the sounds with it seems to make it feel a bit fuzzy and murky, especially when leaning heavily on the onboard FX and unison. A byproduct of using turbo hyper saws for every instrument!

Speaking of FX, most instances use both the chorus and delay. kHs' own Essentials, Slice EQ, Snap Heap and Multipass plugins are used in mixing, mostly some broad EQ and compression to make things gel more instead of using them as creative effects. Except on the drums, where I have kHs Disperser beefing up the impacts. It's tremendous.

When cleaning up I found that cute, fluffy little monster under my bed and disturbed its slumber. Boy, was it cranky, such a drama! But listen for yourself...

Leonard Bowman - Ice Outline

Written and created by me with a single instance of the free Apricot synth by nakst, for the monthly KVR One Synth Contest. This synth produces an amazingly rich sound!
As this synth cannot use automation with Cubase, I could only use one preset, using only a few mod wheel inputs plus reverb and EQ to change the sound.

Dont Wake The Monster

This track was composed for the KVR One Synth Challenge 172 using the free software synth Lith. 

Definitely was inspired by Blade Runner and Clockwork Orange for this one. 

I used the random button liberally and then further tweaked the synth settings to finalize the patches.

25 instances of Lith synth were used in Ableton 10 to make all sounds and instruments. Stock effects used: EQ8 x 12; Utility x 13; Delay x 1; Autofilter x 1; Compressor x 3; Echo x 1; Reverb x 3; Saturator x 1; Limiter x 2.

A musician and engineer, or at least someone who makes music and engineers things.
Mostly tracks for the KVR One Synth Challenge.
Some of my newer music happens under the name Wrenharmonic.

If I've taken down an old track, it's probably still available somewhere. (or you can just ask me for the file)
