One Synth Challenge #173: Bucket Pops and Bucket One by Full Bucket Music

KVR One Synth Challenge  OSC

Yo fam, 
 
We are less than 3 weeks away from going into full
BEAST mode with the FlavorWave movement. 
 
Here are a few things to know... 

The Mission:
 
We're standing our ground and rebelling against 
the trashy, recycled sound epidemic by creating 
the HOTTEST new genre.
 
Then we're gonna give it away to light up the producer 
community and inspire a new wave of music messiahs.

FlavorWave a.k.a. the hyperbolic prophecy (”SaviourWave”)
is now in full effect and we are already crushing it!

Yup, you heard it right – we're dropping this for FREE
right in your lap, no strings attached. 

So we can create the most revolutionary music genre
and give it away to the producer community.
 
This will help you break free from the chains of recycled 
styles and step into the realm of sonic excellence. 

*We can only give it away if we reach our goal*

The Goal: 
 
Our goal is to raise at least 5 points minimum per voter to 
invest in more tools so we can create the most epic genre ever!
 
All points will go into the making of this genre
so we can create a MONSTER like Dr. Funkenstein. 
 
With your support, we'll reignite the FIRE in the
One Synth Challenge and raise the bar like a bodybuilder.

Stretch Goal:
 
If you help us double our goal and vote 10 points...
(by creating a fake KVR account, posting 40 times and then voting 5 pts again)
 
We'll unleash the Black Bucket POPS Edition with one more 
preset for you and all other supporters.
 
*Black POPS will only be available for this campaign*

Rewards: 
 
The more you give, the more you get back.
 
You want super exclusive expansions of your mind?
 
You can choose from a variety of styles that 
grant you exclusive access to rare harmonies.
 
No one else will have access to them but you
and our community of rebels.

Let the FlavorWave begin! 
 
At 12 midnight PST August 16th... 
 
You'll be able to claim your badge in the ranks 
of FlavorWave soldiers pushing a rebellion in sound.
 
Get ready to join the FlavorWave Revolution!

Together, we'll obliterate the mundane, redefine the game,
and make music history!
 
Keep your eyes on the lookout for the results
at 12 midnight PST August 16th.
 
Let's goooooooo fam!
 
Peace and love,
GrizzlyBjörn (Fool Bucket)

Tal Bassline submission for OSC 65

DAW: Reaper (yee haw)

Once the MIDIs had been created for each track ... the workflow was thus:
Each track was built by programming the synth for the sounds I needed, then the FX were added to the track chain, and the synths tweeked. Once I was happy I froze the tracks WITHOUT the fx chain. Then I used Reapers drag to pull over each fx from the synth track to the rendered audio track (thus keeping all the settings). I did this twice for each track (hence the "28" instances of TAL). Then the pairs of tracks were panned and fx tweeked to taste.

Tal Bassline  --- 28  (all tracks doubled up and layered with different pan, verb and comp - depending on which fx are on which track!)

FX used ...


Classic Reverb  ---20
Epicverb --- 6
ReaComp --- 11
BootEQ Mk 2 - 1
Classic Limiter - 1

Ok - what is here now is a re-visited version. Now with  more layers with different EQ/verb/comp.

If the opinion is that this is not as good a mix/performance - please let me know and I can revert ...



DoctorBob - The Grass is Blue - TAL BassLine (OSC 65)

Enjoy another happy retro sound with classic smooth solo from DoctorBob

[Now at version 3, small bits of volume automation done]

[Now at version 4, extra soloing added before and after the main solo to brighten the sound and lift it a little out from the very dense soundscape]

[Aw heck. Now at Version 5. Better dynamics now I think, wall of sound still there, but overlaid solos now thinned out and EQ'd as well]

V6, rimshots down in the mix and the end fade is longer.

V7, lots more surgical EQ ... maybe this one breathes a little more.

DoctorBob - Service Manual - (ODsay OSC 66)

Entry for KVR OSC 67 using Digits Synth


DAW: REAPER

24 instances of Digits
16 * BootEQMk2
13 * Classic Compresser
6 * Limiter No. 6 (yeah, I joined the club!)
3 * ReaGate
12 * epicVerb
1 * Classic Reverb


Notes on the sound design:

All sounds programmed from scratch as follows.

The lead organ has 4 layers. One is a tuned percussion sound to give that classic Hammond style jazzy attack.

The Bass has 3 layers, one for the string attack, another for the body sounds and another for the low resonance. 

The piano hits at 1.03 onwards are 3 layers. 

The Percussion is quite complex - the kick is 3 layers, the hats, ride and snare 2 layers each.  The tuned toms (hear them as the panned fills) are only 2 layers!

The easy one was the organ doing the chords - simple 2 layers one a basic organ sounds and another to add body.

and, oh yes, the wahwah voice is JUST one instance Digits, with verb and EQ!! Just so we are clear about modulation eh?

PLEASE DOWNLOAD FOR MAXIMUM PPPP-PUNCH

The download here is a 320 kbps MP3 ... you can also get a FLAC lossless encoded download if you visit the same track here:

https://soundcloud.com/doctorbob/drbobblues-2

for that real as rendered sound vs any MP3 artefacts, even at 320kbps.

Please remember to leave any comments on the track here though (not the FLAC version!)

DoctorBob - Giving the Digit - (OSC 67 Digits)

Made for OSC 68 - Synth1

The download is a FLAC. Even a 320kbs mp3 doesn't seem to have the "bite".

All patches made from a starting point from the 10,000 presets and tweaked!!! (More so now I have RTFM!)

DAW Reaper

Synth1                       32 instances

EpicVerb                    *  2
ReaEQ                        *  1 (essential to cut a hf ringing!!)
Classic Compressor   * 3
LFX-1310 (autopan only)  * 3

Limiter No6                          * 1

Most of the FX are native from Synth1, just a few EQ tweaks, a couple of verbs and delays extra.

DR 11

Enjoy!
