As I already wrote it reminds me of the sea, which is a nice thing. Very well crafted tune. I've enjoyed it a lot. GL in the comp!

Strange feeling I've got. This tune is not so relaxed for me, it keeps building tension all the way to the end.

Like this laid back approach from you Bob

Really enjoyed the laid back dub vibe, different to your usual tracks, good sounds and balanced mix.

Very good and entertaining composition! Enjoyed it a lot.

@z_prime: Thanks Z. Maybe they will surface again in another challenge? hehe ... glad you liked it ...

Great job: i like the nice mix of the sounds and the well done buildup. I hope you get a good placement, from me a fav + greets:)

KVR One Synth Challenge  OSC

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.

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?

Salvia Salvation [OSC 197]

One Synth Challenge #197:  Odin2 by TheWaveWarden

https://sites.google.com/site/kvrosc/2025/osc-197-odin-2
https://thewavewarden.com/pages/odin-2

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

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.

"There's almost something spiritual about two proud gnomes on unicycles - accelerating to battle speed, each holding aloft a large frozen herring."

Borderline self-parody, I see this as the last hurrah on a string of increasingly silly songs.
