Walking down a dark Parisienne street? The bass does evoke that dark feeling (in a good way).

Oh là là, I like the accordion! Nice sounds and composition!

Nice job with the single instance! For me the track felt like it didn't know what it wanted to be towards the whole duration. Some good ideas in there, though!

Cool 70's movie vibes, with a very prominent western europe feel...

Less is more it seems… You continue your journey through familiar roads and harmonies. I think this one is among your best so far!

Schöne Komposition - gibt mir ein Gefühl von Frankreich :) Wie schon einige vor mir geschildert haben: Wirklich beeindruckend für eine einzelne Instanz. Sehr gute Arbeit!

One Synth Challenge #159: Surge XT

This song is made with only one open-source synthesizer called "Surge XT" in the Digital Audio Software "Reaper" with only a few free effects (EQ, Compressor, Limiter).

OSC159 Frank Geppert Cyber Passion

In this track for the OSC # 159 I used 33 instances of the free Surge XT synthesizer.

DAW: Cubase 11 Pro (Frequency, GEQ-30,  Stereo Delay,  Revelation, Tube Compressor, AutoPan and Maximizer)

Free 3rd party plugs: Panagement 2 by Auburn, Baby Come Back by Baby Audio, MCharmverb by Melda Production, Wider by Polyverse Music and Supermassive by Valhalla.

All sounds are TSOM originals. Except: Flutish Organ and the 10CC Choir Pad are tweaks I did with some wonderful presets by Martijn Deluxe. The Alien Voice has been created using the Vowel/Speech wavetable in Surge's TWIST engine.

Surge XT - Utopian Mornings

For the One Synth Challenge

Uses One (1) (!) instance of Surge XT.
Uses MEqualizer, Reacomp and Realimit 

Fun fact: The sound you hear starting around the 03:50 mark, comes out of just a single _oscillator_. Surge is nuts man.
