Name: Now Is The Time by Johnny Pumphandle in One Synth Challenge #136: Odin 2 by The Wave Warden
Duration: 3 min 12 s
Description: A track developed in FL Studio using only the Odin 2 synthesizer.

The parts are really good but the production feels a little one-dimensional - each instrument doesn't seem to be occupying it's own space other than the stereo lead.

I definitely like the idea of this track.Likeable melodies, nice style. But why's everything but the sax, guitar and claps  so distant and grey sounding ? Also, lack of a clearly defined bass to balance out the skakeys hurts the music IMO. In need of bit of TLC, this.

The low/sub frequencies feel quite odd on my headphones, maybe because they don't have enough bass/mid to go with them

As Telemachy mentioned, the tempo on this feels in congruent with the upbeat tone, almost like we've had a slow spell cast on us

The melody is definitely memorable, I've found myself humming it! Sound a bit like pirate music to me some how. GL!

The beginning reminds me of something in the spirit of Russian folk music)

Interesting retro style! It's amazing how many different things Odin does in the hands of different musicians!)

melody sounds like it would not be out of place in the kings court in medieval times (nice), the mix is a bit boxy though and quite dry. I like the style overall.

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...
