good break from the relentless pounding beat

I like how you're layered the sounds together, great sound design as well! I'm not going to mention the kick ;)

Solid thudding kick. Nice sync bassline too!

Super tight minimalist techno. Appreciate.

Solid production and mix, I like all the ear candy incidentals

really enjoying that filter sweep on the bass it sounds great

nice minimal techno vibes i really appreciate the space you created in the arrangement and it really let the mix breathe and feel natural

One Synth Challenge #164: Ghost (beta) by exacoustics

Trench has discovered that her combine harvester goes faster when she plays drum n bass. Who knows why? Perhaps there's some sort of spiritual connection between the clutch and the bass? The build is great - the cutter starts up and there's a steady stream of grain into the hopper. When you get to the drop, it seems to be racing through the fields. 

The only problem is the breakdown...

My entry for the 164th edition of KVR's One Synth Challenge. All sounds made using Ghost, a forthcoming synth by exacoustics. As of October 2022, it's still in beta.

No machines were harmed in the making of this track.

Plug-ins used:
21 x Ghost (instrument)
9 x Stereo Delay
6 x Space Designer
6 x Channel EQ
3 x Compressor
1 x Limiter

Cape Canaveral

Made using GHOST 0.3.6 for the KVR One Synth Challenge. Everything is done via synth, no samples or external modulation used.

This was a lot of fun to make as I used to spend a lot of time trying to make rock tracks using very old MIDI gear (like, SC-55 old) by manipulating them as much as I could. I went with a similar approach here.

One Synth Challenge 164

Ghost in the mirror (OSC 164)

28 instances of GHOST in Reaper - An unfinished track, just didnt have enough time to commit to this project. 

Probably one of my favorite plugins of all time. Endless possibilities here with synthesis. Glad finally someone pulled of an FM serum. 
The synth has bugs, like loading states, inability to assign modulation and some other rare glitches but for the most part worked well. Looking forward to the development of this beast. It was a ton of fun playing with it.

Another entry for KVR's One Synth Challenge - finally an orchestral library (Spitfire's FREE BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover)!

Another Starry Night

schiing - Another Starry Night (with Spitfire's FREE BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover)

Here's something a bit different. The 'One synth challenge' this month was to use Spitfire Audio's free BBC symphony orchestra sample instrument to make a track. Gave it a shot. Full classical or film score or what ever.  What do you think?

Made in Ableton LIve 11 using Valhalla Vintage Verb, iZotrope's Neutron 3 and Ozone 9.

Fanfare I (OSC 165 BBC)

Made with one instance of Alchemy in Logic, played live for OSC 167. Tried to reproduce the sound i remember playing recitals as a kid in a large hall that was rented out at the time. I used a compressor to ensure no peaks and a channel eq with a gentle shelving cut to remove some low-end flutter I couldn't figure out how to tame with synthesis or Alchemy's built-in EQ. No other plugins. Fun synthesis challenge, combined with a compositional challenge.
