DoctorBob - Synclapations - OSC#131 Syncla-X

Just upload your consciousness already.

Hi, it's been a while!! Joined this comp kind of late, but finished a song in record time. It's a short song, maybe suited for a menu, but it's a song. Hope I can stay productive this way forever. 

Syncla-X has been met with some technical criticism, but I had a pretty good time with it. Percussion is always the kicker with synths that lack pitch modulation, but luckily we had a self oscillating vcf to come in clutch.

As always, all sounds made from scratch, with 22 instances of Syncla-X. Mixed with stock FL plugins. Ever wake up drenched in reverb? Me too.

One Synth Challenge with Syncla-X

The Syncla-X is a half way implemented and abandoned emulation of the  Synclavier, 80s synth that was actually pretty popular.   The Synclavier was a pretty hot item back in the day, as an example, it was the opening synth sound to Michael Jackson's Beat It.

This free emulation we worked with decidedly less classic.  Certain features were missing or broken, but it was fun to play with it once I figured an angle on it.   The theme I went with is "that shitty synth your dad or uncle bought years ago and left in the garage to collect dust and now his wife or gf yells at him about selling or just getting rid of it".

8 instances were used in this epic production.   Unfortunately only had about 3-4 hours of recording time for this one, busy busy busy :(.
