Ten-Voice Overture [Flock of Birds]

Ah, “Jazz Rogue”! The name alone conjures up smoky alleys, neon-lit streets, and the kind of rain that doesn’t just fall—it slithers down your collar like a guilty secret. In this dystopian near future, where chrome and circuitry blend seamlessly with decay, Jazz Rogue prowls the cityscape like a shadow with a nicotine habit.

And so, Jazz Rogue dives headfirst into the neon abyss. He’ll navigate the underbelly of Neo-Seattle, dodging cyboid hitmen, double-crossing fixers, and maybe even a sentient vending machine with a grudge. Because in this world, where wires tangle with veins and the rain never stops, Jazz knows one thing: The truth is buried deep, and it’s got more layers than an onion in a cryogenic freezer.

This (hopefully) sounds like a bagpipe march, but not so much as a single hairy knee was seen - the whole thing was composed and performed on a single synth for the monthly KVR One Synth Challenge.

This instrument is fairly limited to basic subtractive synthesizer functions. It lacks modulation capabilities that even for such simple instrument are crucial (velocity for example). But it does the thing it was intended for pretty well. You can make great sounding analog basses, leads, arps with it. With the modern layering techniques it is quite easy to create complex patches. The VST itself is very stable and easy to use, and the CPU consumption is pretty moderate. I appreciate what the developers are doing to bring such quality instruments for a low price or even for free.

A typical synthwave track with my usual intent to create the "punchiest" synth drums. It has a lot of 90's (early 2000's) videogame music influences that I've grown on.

Mercenaries (OSC#185)

This month's synth of choice is the rather lovely Synthesizer Expansion Module by Cherry Audio. Inspired by discussion around the merits of using just noise and the echo effect with full feedback and short repeat time, I ended up with this single instance effort. In an effort to make it a bit less nasty, there is a wee bit of actual oscillator in there somewhere. Anyway, single instance with ten lanes of automation and a MIDI keytracker to adjust the echo delay time. Wish I could come up with a story to go with this: probably something really bad is happening to some unfortunate person. Um, enjoy...

Bitwig Studio 5.2 with a single instance of SEM and the following additional plugins:

- dpMeter 5, Blue Cat's Gain 3 and KClip Zero trying quite hard on clip to zero duty
- kHs stereo for widening and pan fiddling
- Valhalla Supermassive just because
- Bitwig Compressor+
- Bitwig EQ+
- TDR Kotelnikov
- TDR Nova
- Youlean Loudness Meter

This is my entry "SEM" for the 185th edition of the KVR One Synth Challenge where all sounds were generated using the Cherry Audio Synthesizer Expander Module VST plugin using a mix of free and included effects in Ableton Live 11.
I hope you enjoy it and feel free to offer any comments on how I might improve it if I do a remix for a wider release.
