Thanks for the likes for the last month's track. :)

For the last month I was a bit late and did not had enough time to finish my track.
Here comes my finished track, while the muse is still on vacation - I hope you guys like.

“OSCiLLiUM” opens with a descending bass line — a slow dive into vibration and inner space,
as a preparion of a journey down the inner sound.
At 88 BPM it moves with punch: tight kicks, crisp snares, and a sub that smoothly breathes.
The track unfolds like a wave — calm, clear, beat-driven, with pulsing depth and a hint of melancholy.

To be honest I used some factory presets as starting points, as they are sooo good! (Well done U-HE)

In the middle of the track, I gave an unedited preset called “Beat Machine 2” a solo appearance because I think it fits so well that I left it unchanged. I know this is rather unusual for OSC, but I just couldn't help myself – I fell in love...

nJoY.

Dreams

Here's my entry for the OSC #200 challenge. A few people in our OSC Discord responded enthusiastically when I said I was planning to make a contemporary hippie piece. A promise is a promise. Dr Bob immediately sent me live recordings of his band from the good old days. But with my background, with Zebralette and the OSC rules, I can't quite match that. But don't worry, I've tried to capture the spirit of the Flower Power generation which was great fun.

Dark Ride [OSC #200 Zebralette 3 Beta]

Entry for OSC-200

My concept this month was to use both of my keyboards (I now have 2!) - to their respective strengths.
I used the fully weighted piano controller (Roland FP-10) for very velocity sensitive sounds - like percussion. And I also did fast wild lead breaks with lots of pitch/mod bend (lighter keys and pitch bend on Roland A-70).

eraze the borders - Night Of The Fists [OSC 200]

Composed for KVR One Synth Challenge 201 using only sounds from Kontrast by Dawesome.

Mid-1990s, somewhere in rural West Germany. A teenager wanders aimlessly through the foggy streets of the small village. The lanterns glow dim and orange through the mist. A dreary, cold November day in the loneliest place in the world. The boy inhales. Cold air fills his lungs and wraps around his soul. The boy exhales. Warm breath evaporates in a cloud before his eyes. He has to get out of here.

z.prime - Truth

This track made for the KVR One Synth Challenge using the VSTi VST2413. All sounds made by the VSTi, and processing only with DAW (Reaper) FX or free 3rd party non-modulating FX.

BTW ... The grungy sounds are meant to be like that. Bassist with broken speaker cones, crappy horns which won't tune, keyboardist with a really awful amp! Drummer broke most of his kit when he fell over it - cymbals bent and cracked!
