Pale Green Lights (Wavetable)

Neu KatalYst - Pale Green Lights [KVR OSC #176: Wavetable] [Chillstep]

Final Placement: 5/32 (Top 5)
Made for KVR Audio's "One Synth Challenge" #177

This month, it was "SynfulOrchestra" by Synful; and "VSCO2 Percussion," recorded by Versilian Studios/Sam Gossner. These two plugins, as well as some raw approved samples used in the latter, were the only plugins(/samples) used across multiple instances. This month, in addition to the use of stock-effects and perpetually-free effects, free plugins could be used to break the normal rules, while commercial plugins were allowed and could be used to follow them.

Because of this rule-forgiveness, it was also requested that the use of these plugins be explained. Instead of wasting the space required to do so in this description, I have instead done so in this Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X0a-u-xW2ewqLFM5_s7vW8pk0zEhk5rLwspcwQKPEQ4
