One Synth Challenge #136 - Odin 2 Highlights

Seidr

Track made for the 136th iteration of KVR's One Synth Challenge (OSC 136) in June 2020. The only synthesizer used for this song was Odin 2 by The Wave Warden (https://www.thewavewarden.com/). There are 11 instances of the synthesizer in the track.

This is the first time I have tried to build my own sounds from scratch - there is still a lot to learn! Odin 2 seems like a very powerful and easy to use synthesizer, however, so maybe I'll continue to experiment...

Originally posted as a submission for One Synth Challenge 136 in June 2020.

The goal was to create a track using Wave Warden's "ODIN 2" virtual synthesizer as a source for all sounds.

This track represents a naive joy of summer, interrupted by pandemic, disasters and mass riots in 2020.

This is mostly a mix and master revision. The original arrangement is preserved.

I'd like to say that ODIN 2 is a great synth. The possibilities are huge and I particulary liked the "analog gain staging" feature that makes everything passed through filters and amp section more fatter and characterful. I also liked the potential variety of digital sounds with different modules and I found wave/spec drawing oscs to be useful for some sounds I made. However, I was always comparing this synth to "Surge", which has a similar set of features but it's wavetable engine are much more flexible and it has slightly better LFOs. Still, ODIN 2 is outstandingly good at analog sounds.

Simanus - Premature Implosion (OSC 136)

My entry for KVR Audio's One Synth Challenge 135, featuring TheWaveWarden's Odin2. Deeply referential.

Odin2 is a terrific synth! A tiny bit CPU-hungry, but otherwise, absurdly capable for a free product.
