I created this song in the last few days, it was a busy month. The synth itself is a decent one, could be someone's first synth as it's designed to learn. The controls are pretty basic and the FX section lacks some crucial parameters (like low/high filtering for reverb/delay). The synth has its own character though. It's reminiscent of 90's virtual analog synths with that characterful phase restart effect when unison mode is turned on. I could even make some cool rave sounds with it.

Made for KVR Audio's "One Synth Challenge" #196

This month, it was "Primer 2" by Audible Genius. Primer 2 was the only synth used across multiple instances, including all drums. Only stock-effects and perpetually-free effects were used to process them and the master. Other usual rules apply: no samples, paid effects, or self-modulating effects.
