Another OneSynthChallenge track, for OSC 145 in March 2021, this time using Kairatune. I made heavy use of Ableton Live's instrument racks to create the sounds.

Rockingricky - Kaira's Tune

OSC entry. All sounds made with instances of the same virtual synthesizer, this month it's Kairatune. It presented quite a challenge as it's monophonic and has limited oscillator wave forms and quirky integration.

30 instances of Kairatune in Live 11. Hybrid Reverb, EQ8, compression, limiter, saturation, delay, and Valhalla Super Massive.

My entry for KVR Audio's One Synth Challenge 145 with Futucraft's Kairatune softsynth. I started late, and it took me a bit to get up to speed with the Kairatune workflow, but I liked it well enough by the end.

Kaira ForTune OSC145

One Synth Challenge with Kairatune, 49 instances.  A tribute to the epic Social Network soundtrack.

Always wanted to learn Kairatune, never had the opportunity.  It seemed like it could span textures really easily which is always good in a monosynth.   Kicks were the hardest probably, a little CamelCrusher helped with that.
Somewhere out of fiddling with patches came the Social Network angle, and I ran with it.  That soundtrack is one of those that hit for me instantly and stuck with me since.  I remember seeing Trent describe the Swarmatron, a custom synth manufactured for the soundtrack.  Kairatune did a pretty good job emulating it I believe.  Lots of bass layers in this track too, something I noticed TR+AR did in the soundtrack.

As usual, more nitty gritty in the kvr thread.

NEW REMASTERED VERSION ON YT: https://youtu.be/UT6oPRi3NBU

Submitted for One Synth Challenge #145 in March 2021 featuring "Kairatune" by Futucraft.

A fun little synth for sure. It has serious limitations in some aspects, but it also has features that sometimes an expensive commercial software could have. An individual control for oscillator's fundamental and it's harmonics is a sort of genius. Sometimes it is so hard to control the bass frequencies when using unison feature on the other synths, but not in this case. The sound engine itself is quite good. With the series of modulated filters and a little bit of drive you can create pretty interesting timbres. The FX section is quite handy, there is something special about effects on a free synths (remember Synth1). 

There could be some minor improvements that would extend the possible sounds. More LFO shapes for example, I think it is not so hard to implement. There is, however, an interesting opportunity with such limited instruments to create some new sounds and develop new techniques that you wouldn't try within your comfort zone. 

Composed, arranged, mixed and mastered in FL Studio 20

8 instances of "Kairatune" used to create a track. All sounds from "init" patch.
