Light and shade are the only things missing really - pedal to the floor, full speed ahead and keep going til the money runs out. But I really enjoyed it.

Brave DrBob wants to make jazzy tune using Pendulate. The result is a little more confusing than your previous jazzy tracks. As the leads take the scene too much and the bass and drums seems weak. I like the adventurous chords.

ooh, actually very nice and appropriately located lead on this

the lead is definitely just a bit too overpowering in the mix, though

would have very much liked a contrasting section or something to break up the constant lead from beginning to end, but an enjoyable track nonetheless!

The picture suits this song... very surreal, crazy melodic work

One Synth Challenge #140: Pendulate

The gremlins in Negoba's studio decided to steal snippets of his previous OSC's to create a monster destined to confound and disgust all listeners. Unbeknownst to them, their creation (Jenkins) instead prefers cuddles and long walks on the beach.

All sounds created using Odin2 Softsynth by Wave Warden for KVR OSC #197.

Mix of stock presets, tweaked presets, and init. Shout back a bit to a previous track where I used Odin on an open round. I think I’ve learned a little since then.

-------------------------------------------------------

This month was a real challenge!

When I looked at Odin, I came up with the idea of a true One (!) Synth Challenge – just a single instance, no excuses.
I dove deep into sound design and quickly realized: this would become a real borderline experience.

While endlessly tweaking, I kept discovering new sonic paths – sometimes inspiring, sometimes frustrating.
Odin could be pretty temperamental when dealing with MIDI, but in the end, I managed to shape something that feels raw, tense, and expressive.

So here it is: Grenzerfahrung (borderline experience) –
a track born from limitation, chaos, and way too many hours. ;)

NJoy. Any feedback welcome.

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 ?"
