Ah the drums do something more. I think you could do with a a top loop type thing, or some other atonal rhythm going on. I'd suggest more in the top end because that's fairly clear and shouldn't get in the way of lead.

This reminds me the Jarre loves EDM era of the french composer a lot.

I like this lead a lot. Very distinctive. Cuts through!

I like the drum sounds on your track.  Crisp!

The production quality on this is great! Really nice sounds and arrangement too. Checking back on the work you did when you first joined OSC you've improved a lot!

One Synth Challenge #161: Synth1 by Ichiro Toda

A music track (called "ParallaX") was created with only one synth sounds (SYNTH1). SYNTH1 is a free VST.

ParallaX

This song has been made (yes, drums too) with 22 instances of the free synthesizer Synth1 from Ichiro Toda in the DAW Reaper for the One-Synth-Challenge number 161. It uses only a few additional FX for reverb, delay, EQ, compression and limiting.

Far Away From Mind

The gremlins in Negoba's studio decided to steal snippets of his previous OSC's to create a monster destined to confound and disgust all listeners. Unbeknownst to them, their creation (Jenkins) instead prefers cuddles and long walks on the beach.

All sounds created using Odin2 Softsynth by Wave Warden for KVR OSC #197.

Mix of stock presets, tweaked presets, and init. Shout back a bit to a previous track where I used Odin on an open round. I think I’ve learned a little since then.
