Impressive to have done this in two days. It's hard to make a synth like Pendulate sound beautiful and I think you managed that perfectly.

Very beautiful combi: bassline + chords/lead. More spontaneus than your previous tracks, sometimes short time helps.

very pleasing. very pleasing indeed. because we all know and love these tones.

Bassy stuff here is awesome... maybe drowning out the other stuff a bit, but cool song

somehow so very hopeful. if only life was this way for me.

Yes it might sound a bit like some other song. I'm OK with that. Was unintentional and very much a different song.

OSC186 Goodbye Schlubedoo (Vital Any 2) 14/42

An entry for One Synth Challenge 186 at KVR Audio

DAW: Reaper
Synths: U-he Tyrell N6 (24) &  Zebralette 2 (2). Seventeen ( voice-split ) patches, from scratch as always , including six percs and four FX.  Assisted by TDR Nova ( general nip-and-tuck channelstrip duties ) , ReaDelay, HY-Delay , Bittersweet ( softening a delay, )  Kazrog KClip ( drumbus ) , and BlueArp

Reverb buses: MuVerb, Oril River, and Protoverb. Pre-emphasised, de-emphasised, shaped, compressed, softened and panned  by TDR Nova, Flux Bittersweet and HOFA SYS Pan. 

Shaped, sharpened, spatialized and louderized ( to -12 LUFS ) at the master level by TDR Nova, Flux Bittersweet, Protoverb, HOFA TiltEQ and  Limiter No6

Finders, Keepers

Made For KVR OSC 186 Any 2 Synths - I used Nakst Apricot - 15 Instances and Odin 2 - 1 Instance
DAW Mulab 9.5
DAW Fx: limiters, High and low pass filters, parametric eq, stereo splitter.
Third Party Fx: analyser - Voxengo Span, Voxengo Marvel GEQ.

Basically I was unable to take part in the Apricot round, so this was my chance. It's based around a 5 beat arpeggio I created with this synth. I thought I might use more of Odin 2, but ended up using it just for the snare.
This track is dedicated to my lovely Jenny who in spite of many current ailments managed to walk several miles of difficult coastal path to get the photo of a waterfall for my cover pic. :)

Legendary - Italic

This month's One Synth Challenge uses Dawsome Myth. This synth comes with a massive sound design rabbit hole so this month's effort might be biased towards sound design with a rather more lame composition than usual. Created in Bitwig Studio 5.2.7. All patches were created from init and used various samples including vocal phrases, oohs and aahs, my dog barking, a wok lid, hitting metal things and at least one sample generated with Deep Sampler. There might be a patch in there using audio dragged from another patch too... In addition to that, although most tracks were almost exclusively using the synth's built in effects, the following plugins were also used:

- Myth x 19

- Valhalla Supermassive
- TDR Nova
- TDR Kotelnikov
- dpMeter 5
- Blue Cat Gain 3
- KClip Zero

Three Movements Of A Complex Pendulum

Leo Amaral - Three Movements Of A Complex Pendulum

"Watch... as a young ambitious camel, dreaming of getting both very rich AND entering the Kingdom of Heaven, sets off on an epic journey in search of the Big Giant Needle. A tale of dusty plains, dazzling cities and, of course, genies and bottles. Will The Eye remain shut...or open to reveal it's wonders ?"

ELEX - 1002 : A Desert Odyssey

For OSC 140, made in 2 days because the ideas didn't come out of hiding until yesterday.

33 instances of Pendulate, an experimental monosynth with interesting potential.

Tuned in something resembling 31edo, although it mainly sticks to the meantone[12] that we all know and love.

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)
