the dry elements of your track always fit in well, nice work

keep up the house man, this is where you really shine imo

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

**Dec 26 update: I adjusted the eq and compression on the bass to get it a bit more under control. I'm happier with the results.**

Submitted for the December 2013 OSC contest on KVRaudio.com.
Over 30 instances of Linplug's Spectral software synthesizer.
Track created in Ableton Live 9- due to Spectral being fairly buggy in it's current state (I experienced an extraordinary amount of crashes and frustration), this track is a combination of 4 projects with each midi track bounced to audio and then arranged and addition processing in the form of EQ, compression, and send effects.

The robot 'voice' was created using Live's drum rack grouping feature to assign individual instance of Spectral to separate keys of the keyboard. I programmed each instance to emulate a syllable. Then I played them in sequence to create 'words'.

Additional effects include Live's built-in EQ, Saturation, Autofilter, Compressor, and Reverb, Delay, and Limiter, and 3r-party Limiter 6 on the master track.

Robot Music (OSC58 Spectral)

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.
