One Synth Challenge #182: Charlatan 3 by BlauKraut Engineering / karrikuh

Wanted to wrap my head around Charlatan3 (http://blaukraut.info/) and took the KVR One Synth Challenge as occasion to do so. Sticking to the Demoscene tradition, this jam's recorded using 10 plugin instances, without further additives.

Edit: Thank you very much for your comments! You can find a little bank of 20 patches for Charlatan3 here: https://files.abraum.de/f/5528efa880f54a33babc/?dl=1

The Charlatan Is Exposed - OSC #182 - Charlatan

As a so-called bedroom producer, I actually thought for a while about whether I should take part in the contest. The songs I've heard so far all sound very good. And the doubts grew after a few sound problems. I gave it a try anyway. Please feel free to contact me about what I can do better! 

DAW: FL Studio
Plugins: Some FL Studio EQs, Limiter (FL), Maximus (FL),  LoudMax, MSED, TDR Nova, TDR Kotelnikov, Valhalla Supermassiv, Youlean Loudness Meter

This month's effort is using Charlatan 3 by BlauKraut Engineering with Bitwig 5.1.8. All patches created from init. No clouts were cast during the production of this track (as May isn't out yet...)

Genre says 'ambient' as that was my intent before I started but as usual the month's synth lead me down a different path.

14 instances of Charlatan with the following additional plugins:

-the usual clip to zero collection of dpMeter5, Blue Cat's Gain 3 and KClip Zero
- kHs Stereo
- kHs Trance Gate
- NI Raum
- TDR Nova
- TDR Kotelnikov
- Youlean Loudness Meter

The following Bitwig Plugins were also used:

- EQ2
- EQ 5
- Note Repeats

"On this planet we discovered an abandoned underwater settlement, probably built by an advanced alien race. We established a research facility called "New Atlantis" where we will continue our further exploration. We don't know exactly why those species left the planet or what made them disappear, but their technology could be valuable for Humanity. And there is more. Some of our crew members frequently report strange activity. People are talking about the feeling of being observed or followed by an entity that suddenly disappears. This could be due to stress, but... We don't know for sure what to expect in this world..."

Created with "Charlatan 3" virtual synthesizer. 31 instances used to create a track.

I used some of the factory presets and a few sounds designed from scratch.
