Cool Jazzy vibe, well composed movements.

A little short !  Lots of great ideas though, bass sounds very convincing, and a lovely swing feel

So far already a very convincing and authentic use of these two seemingly "basic" orchestra plugins - excellent work!

Like everyone, the swinging bass is the highlight ... clari is ok, but the brass ensemble is less convincing. Nice to have a jazzy number in here.

Really like the arrangement. And the various melodies complement wach other well. Also dig the walking bass (which personally i'd have a bit more on the front). Nice track!

While I your piece is nicely written I am not sure made the most use of the synth leaving me with the feeling it was a demo track you might hear on a keyboard than a standalone track.

A nice and surprising direction to take with this plugin. Sounds pretty good to me :)

enjoyable tune! mix is clear and sounds mostly pretty good to my ears. Perhaps a bit lacking in atmosphere / ambience for my taste somehow.

One Synth Challenge #177: Synful Orchestra & VSCO2 Percussion

My submission for KVR One Synth Challenge #177.  This track was recorded with 10 instances of Synful Orchestra (bass, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, 2 clarinets and bassoon) and 4 instances of Versilian Chamber Orchestra 2 (cymbal, hi-hat, kick, snare).

The track was recorded with Studio One 4.5.  I used the Fat Channel (EQ and compression), Room Reverb, and Limiter plugins that come with Studio One.

An entry for the KVR One Synth Challenge #177 - Synful Orchestra & VSCO Percussion.

As the sun sets on the horizon, casting long shadows across the alien landscape, a lone figure sits cross-legged, silhouetted against the fiery sky. In his hands he holds his trusty bass guitar, its strings gleaming in the fading light.

Lieutenant Spaceman D. Bassman had been stranded on this planet for 7 months, his crashed spaceship was damaged beyond repair, but he hadn't given up hope of being rescued. Every day he would refill his oxygen tank and walk into the poppy fields at sunset to jam on some dubby grooves, his music echoing across the vast expanse.

As he plays, he feels a sense of peace wash over him. The sounds emanating from his instruments are an ethereal mix of orchestral timbres and heavy dub, infused not only with the smells, sights and sounds of the alien planet and his hopes for the future, but also mixed with the melancholy of longing for his home-world. Music is his last connection to humanity, his way of staying sane in the face of loneliness.

One day, as Bassman was jamming on a particularly bad-assed groove, he heard a faint sound inside his helmet. His heart beat faster with excitement; At last, the Corp had located his damaged ship and had come to rescue him! Then, almost imperceptibly at first, he started to make out a strange melody, not entirely inharmonic to his tasty bass licks.

Bassman was stung violently on the forehead. He flinched and almost dropped his guitar. "Feck!", he howled. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a bee crawling on the inside of his visor, it's wings implausibly buzzing in a near perfect B Major. Desperate not to be stung again, he flailed his head around inside the helmet, attempting to squash the musical intruder against the side. After many attempts and with great effort, he struck one blow, then another, and with each strike the bee's buzzing became more and more erratic and atonal. Sensing victory, and with a final yank of his head, Bassman dealt a fatal blow, and the bee was silenced. 

As the sun continued it's slow descent below the horizon, Bassman composed himself, picked up his bass and continued jamming. Tomorrow he would seek out more of these alien musical bees, not only in the hope that one day they could forgive him for killing one of their own kind, but also that they might continue the collaboration between their two species on some more of those sweet-assed tunes.

Fin.

My entry for KVR OSC #177.

Professor Bertrand Snook loved playing with his band on a sunny Sunday in the bandstand.  But the mighty starship Argenti was waiting patiently in the distance.  This would be the band's last song, and he let them play their hearts out.  Soon he would be on his way out of the system and towards the mysterious object he had been working towards for his whole academic career.  
But for now - play on!  The sun is shining and the starship can wait!

Final Placement: 5/32 (Top 5)
Made for KVR Audio's "One Synth Challenge" #177

This month, it was "SynfulOrchestra" by Synful; and "VSCO2 Percussion," recorded by Versilian Studios/Sam Gossner. These two plugins, as well as some raw approved samples used in the latter, were the only plugins(/samples) used across multiple instances. This month, in addition to the use of stock-effects and perpetually-free effects, free plugins could be used to break the normal rules, while commercial plugins were allowed and could be used to follow them.

Because of this rule-forgiveness, it was also requested that the use of these plugins be explained. Instead of wasting the space required to do so in this description, I have instead done so in this Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X0a-u-xW2ewqLFM5_s7vW8pk0zEhk5rLwspcwQKPEQ4
