I loke how the dark brass synth fades in.

Nice song, great ambience feeling, cool for background listening only the drums could be reduced sometimes for more variation.

this is really nice. I think some tiny shaker/hihat action on the 16ths would be perfect

I think the drums standout as being clean and very nice sounding.

SHREW-3 (Vaporizer2)

Neu KatalYst - SHREW-3 [KVR OSC #178: Vaporizer2] [DnB]

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.

Jenkins Knows He Ain't Pretty - OSC 197 Odin2

This track is created for OSC197 with Odin2 from TheWaveWarden no samples pure sounddesign

Pulses of Earth - OSC197

Final, remixed submission for OSC 197. Idea for this track was partially inspired by Carl Craig's "Home Entertainment" off of his classic Detroit techno album Landcruising, but then I decided to add drums and it became a very different beast. Hope y'all like it!

Quartal Heart

My track for KVR One Synth Challenge n. 197 (July 2025), in which existential horror and reckless fun go hand-in-hand.

All sounds generated by free VST synth Odin 2, developed by TheWaveWarden

11x Utility (for volume automation)
1x Glue Compressor
