I think you're production is very good -- this is well mixed and mastered.

That juicy bassline! A well produced and groovy track...

this isn't just OSC good. this is something id have bought in a shop (when one had to do such things).

Bluetech, is that you?? Very Bluetech-type sounds throughout, gj!

yes well done, different levels of fruit here - check, deep plum and orange mixed with chunks of apple and banana, someone get the pimms jug!

i like this style of psy dub, or whatever people call it. whatever it is, it rides nice on the eardrums

i do have to comment on the mix. there are a lot of layers here and it never feels cluttered. nice technical work too, great sonic journey

My entry for the KVR OSC#171

I was talking about planetary formation with some other OSC'ers (as you do) and this early violent period of Mars came up - which inspired me.

20 instances of Apricot - all designed from Init.
DAW: Reaper
Dead Duck: AutoPan, Filter, MonoDelay, Limiter
ReaEQ, ReaXComp
OrilRiver Reverb (but mostly the Apricot  reverb)
Reaper JS Saturation, Kilohearts Gain
Limiter No6, SPAN, YouLean Loudness Meter.

The Late Heavy Bombardment Of Mars

A submission for the KVR One Synth Challenge #171.

The synth this month is Apricot by Nakst, a very capable 2 osc VA.  Great sound, and super light on the CPU, also loads like a demon.

13 instances in Reaper, some light processing from ReaEQ, ReaComp, and ReaLimit, plus Nova on the master.

17 x Apricot
DAW: StudioOne6
Host plugins: ProEQ, Compressor, Gate, Limiter, De-Esser, OpenAir,  AnalogDelay

OSC #171 Apricot

Made for OSC 171, using 24 instances of the synth Apricot by nakst for all sounds.

Tuning is cons_5.scl from the scala archive, plus some octaves. It's a 5 limit JI scale that repeats at 9/5.

Leonard Bowman - Ice Outline

Written and created by me with a single instance of the free Apricot synth by nakst, for the monthly KVR One Synth Contest. This synth produces an amazingly rich sound!
As this synth cannot use automation with Cubase, I could only use one preset, using only a few mod wheel inputs plus reverb and EQ to change the sound.

"Life in a futuristic mega-city turned out to be not so pleasant. Living in an over populated human hive, spending all of your spare time getting to your stupid day job, having to deal with bureaucracy and corrupt administration, being constantly stressed out. Not to mention a hot conflict zone nearby. Seeing military ships flying above your head became normal at some point. All of this, just like it was hundreds years ago. Nothing has changed. At least you can enjoy unearthly colors outside the window while having a mug of synthetic beer in the nearest barroom".

Submission for One Synth Challenge 171 featuring "Apricot" from Nakst.

Another synthwave track with my usual style. The synth itself is nice and seamlessly integrates with my FL Studio. The additions of internal samples and effects were handy for creating sounds. However there are some aspects that could be improved. The biggest disappointment to me was audio rate LFO modulation, especially with sample & hold mode. I cannot explain it correctly but it simply doesn't sound right. Other than that, this instrument would be useful for learning the basics of synthesis.

36 instances of Apricot used to create a track.

District 171

District 171 (OSC#171)

In Apricot skies, where dragons dare to roam, Their graceful dance
upon the heavens' dome. Their wings, like fiery tapestries unfurled,
Illuminate the night, a mystic world.

With scales aglow, in hues of amber bright, They soar aloft, in
majestic flight. Their sinewy bodies, fluid as a stream, Gliding
through clouds as if within a dream.

Their serpentine forms, a sight to behold, As they entwine, their
tales of legends old. Their fiery breath, like stars that fiercely
burn, Enchanting all who witness their return.

With every twist and turn, they paint the air, With vibrant strokes of
magic and despair. Their symphony of echoes, raw and wild, Transcends
the mortal realm, the meek and mild.

Oh, witness now their wondrous ballet's grace, As dragons dance, a
celestial embrace. Apricot skies ablaze, their stage divine, A
masterpiece, crafted by the hands of time.

So let us marvel at this rare delight, The dragon's dance, a
breathtaking sight. In Apricot skies, they eternally roam, Guiding our
dreams to realms yet unknown.
