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.

I have resurfaced. For the 176th edition of KVR's One Synth Challenge.

This month is Wavetable by Socalabs. All sounds made with Wavetable, in Ableton Live, with Live's effects - EQ8, Compressor, Glue Compressor, Drum Buss, Delay, Echo and Saturator for clipping. There's also a bit of Valhalla Supermassive on the pad.

Surf's up - Double Tap - OSC 176

YouTube version has better streaming quality: https://youtu.be/_RndMOSLUzo

"An anomalous behavior of unknown origin..."

Created entirely with "Wavetable" synthesizer from SocaLabs

A nice free synth for those who starting experimenting with wavetables and modulation. However, some of the modulation sources seems to be not synching with the DAW correctly (particularly the trance gate).

16 instance of "Wavetable" used to create a track.

Circus 76 (OSC#176)

A track about the creative process; sometimes ideas flow freely and you have great momentum; other times it is process driven and there is a lot of time searching for inspiration.

IN "Truly Alive" I wanted to channel the Cyberpunk ethos. The scene, a rainy dystopian city scape. An emotional AI pining for a love that can never return. 

Lyrics:
The night is young, inside i wait alone
Looking out upon the city and everything we sold
Take the glory take the pain take it all if we're together
if you could come back to me cuz one thing lasts for ever

Will this last for ever?

Time plays in revers
I'm falling in love with the memory of you
Shadows fill my dreams and when they leave
all they leave is a memory of you

You put your hand on my heart 
feel it beat in time with you
the first time i feel truly alive
magic all around comes true
You put your hand on my heart 
feel it beat in time with you
floating weightless through the stars
magic all around comes true

It's One A.M. outside I hear the rain
Beating on the concrete beating on my heart again
All i have are memories of when we were together
We were dancing on the rainy streets one thing lasts for ever.

You put your hand on my heart 
feel it beat in time with you
the first time i feel truly alive
magic all around comes true
You put your hand on my heart 
feel it beat in time with you
floating weightless through the stars
magic all around comes true
