You are amazingly talented. Good luck in the contest.

Here we go, I think we were all waiting for this bit to come!

great cinematic feel, good development, outstanding sound design, a real winner here!

A collection of tracks I made for the "One Synth Challenge" is a contest on KVRaudio.com. Each month a free software synthesizer is chosen. Participants then use only that instrument to make all sounds for a complete track.

OSC archive

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.

Every Sound in this Track was made from scratch with Odin 2 - Synthetiser

Beed Boop - BO-C [OSC 197]

KVR OSC197 Odin2
32 Instances of Reaper 7.3

ReaLimit, Valhalla SuperMassive, Raum,TDR Kotelnikov, ChowTapeModel,ReEQ, Deelay, LoudMax .... and added OTT to the piano. 

All sounds from init except the vocal pad is a tweaked factory patch. 

What does the title/pic mean? 
I have had many dreams throughout my life about finding hidden doors that lead to magical places. The picture is of a abandoned stairway in a house I lived in for a few years in college. Leads to the backside of a refrigerator. I had dreams about that house, that there were secret floors burrowed back into the hillside, etc. And at one point years later I couldn't remember if this abandoned stairway really was there or I just dreamed it.

Anyway making this triggered another of that type of dream.

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.
