Taron - Sixy [SixTraq]

This is my submission to the #kvraudio #OneSynthChallenge #188 featuring the VST Synth Six Traq from fullbucket.
All sounds are coming from the Synth acompanied by a number of moderate tone shaping, mixing and mastering fx. All fx free or built into the DAW. DAW is Bitwig 5.2.x. No Samples. No Postprocessing after the audio export.

Quote from kvr: "Six-Traq is a simulation of the classic Sequential Circuits Six-Trak synthesizer from 1984. This  was the very first multi-timbral synthesizer and featured six monophonic tracks simultaneously available from a single device. Groundbreaking in its time!"

Vospi - Horizon (#inktober2024, day 13)

As I think of my 14-year-old daughter, I go back to my own childhood. To my dusty, dimly lit room where I had a small synthesiser and an echo machine on some sort of an altar. I go back to my hopes and fears, my expectations, my goals, my beliefs and my love for music. Often too little time to make my own music because I couldn't stop listening to Bach, TD, Klaus Schulze, Jarre, Vangelis, Pink Floyd and Todd Rundgren.

I recognise so much in her. My beautiful 14-year-old daughter with all her hopes and fears and her love for music.

One Synth Challenge 188 entry by Seap, October 2024
Synth: SixTraq by Full Bucket Music

The year is 1981, and the disco is alive with the vibrant energy of Halloween night. The dance floor is a sea of costumes, from classic vampires and witches to the latest pop culture icons. The DJ, dressed as a futuristic robot, proudly showcases his brand new Roland TB-303, a synthesizer that promises to revolutionize the sound of the night. As he tweaks the knobs, the room fills with hypnotic, pulsating beats that make the crowd move in unison.

In the corner of the disco, an arcade machine stands as silent sentinel, its screen glowing with the sight of a yellow, cheese-like character being chased by ghosts. The game, a recent hit, draws a small crowd of enthusiasts eager to beat the high score. The clinking of quarters and the excited shouts of players blend seamlessly with the music, creating a symphony of sound that defines the era.

A group of friends take turns at the arcade machine, laughing and cheering each other on. Among them, a few are dressed as ghosts, their white sheets fluttering as they move. One person stands out in a bright yellow cheese costume, drawing amused glances and playful comments from the crowd. The DJ, noticing their enthusiasm, decides to mix in some of the game’s iconic sounds into his set, causing a ripple of nostalgia and excitement to spread through the crowd. 

As the night progresses, a girl dressed as a pink ghost finds herself dancing closer to the yellow cheese. Their laughter is infectious, and their eyes meet frequently, each glance lingering a little longer than the last. The chemistry between them is undeniable, as they move closer, their hands brushing and smiles widening. The music swells, and they lose themselves in the rhythm, feeling as if they are the only two people in the room. As the final song plays, they share a knowing smile, realizing that this magical Halloween night has brought them together in a way they never expected. With a promise to meet again, they part ways, each carrying the memory of this unforgettable night in their hearts.

"The full moon rises tonight. This place gives me chills and my hands are shaking, but I feel bold. Everything is prepared for our ritual... But it will be incomplete without you."  

Created with "SixTraq" virtual synthesizer. 43 instances used to create a track.

As an emulation it does have the character of a budget analog synth. It is capable of producing some thick unison basses and leads. It is also capable of creating complex percussion sounds from a single patch (the envelopes are not very flexible though). The polyphonic patches are not convincing enough, like a very primitive string machine or a "preset synthesizer" keyboard. It forced me to do a lot of double (quad) tracking, plus a weird "envelope stealing" thing, even if you have spare voices. The good thing is that CPU consumption is very low, as always with Full Bucket synths.

SixTraq Forest (OSC 188)

This is my entry "Spring Awakening" for the 188th edition of the KVR One Synth Challenge. All sounds were generated using the Six-Traq plugin with 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.

Please also note that downloads are only intended for personal use. Redistribution to other platforms (except for what is needed for the challenge ), modification, or other commercial uses is prohibited. If you wish to use it commercially or do a remix don't hesitate to contact me first to work out a deal.

Spring Awakening

Jas wasn't alone this month cooking some hit em (5/4 time, 212bpm). I think the proposed style is better with a wash of breakbeats and distortion, but I did my best given the synth at hand. It was tough. I struggled with making a spread of decent percussions so I had to keep em mostly foundational. Please enjoy the weirdness!

SixTraq was strange to use as a vst. It took a while to get my head around the point of the workflow- likely audibly so. I mostly ignored the agonizingly hardwarelike arp/record layer functions and kept it mostly like a layered polysynth. But, it has quirks, kind of like a misshapen cousin of the Prophet 600. Props to Full Bucket for having the interest and persistence (and patience) to wrangle the code for such a thing. Also I didn't really have any bugs except for the undo thing.

-24 instances of Full Bucket's SixTraq in FL Studio.
-Mixed with Variety of Sound Plugins (BootEQ, Density, ThrillseekerVBL, TesslaSE, epicPlate, NastyDLA) and a smidge of OTT on the master for good luck.
