A small but powerful synthesiser that I had a lot of fun with! Excellent support from TILR, who spared no effort in troubleshooting problems and implementing suggestions. I have never seen so many updates during the course of development. And not because things weren't working, but to improve them. Very good support and many thanks again!

Thanks for the likes for the last month's track. :)

For the last month I was a bit late and did not had enough time to finish my track.
Here comes my finished track, while the muse is still on vacation - I hope you guys like.

“OSCiLLiUM” opens with a descending bass line — a slow dive into vibration and inner space,
as a preparion of a journey down the inner sound.
At 88 BPM it moves with punch: tight kicks, crisp snares, and a sub that smoothly breathes.
The track unfolds like a wave — calm, clear, beat-driven, with pulsing depth and a hint of melancholy.

To be honest I used some factory presets as starting points, as they are sooo good! (Well done U-HE)

In the middle of the track, I gave an unedited preset called “Beat Machine 2” a solo appearance because I think it fits so well that I left it unchanged. I know this is rather unusual for OSC, but I just couldn't help myself – I fell in love...

nJoY.

SiL3NC3_SWX - OSCiLLiUM [OSC200]

Here's my entry for the OSC #200 challenge. A few people in our OSC Discord responded enthusiastically when I said I was planning to make a contemporary hippie piece. A promise is a promise. Dr Bob immediately sent me live recordings of his band from the good old days. But with my background, with Zebralette and the OSC rules, I can't quite match that. But don't worry, I've tried to capture the spirit of the Flower Power generation which was great fun.

Dark Ride [OSC #200 Zebralette 3 Beta]

Entry for OSC-200

My concept this month was to use both of my keyboards (I now have 2!) - to their respective strengths.
I used the fully weighted piano controller (Roland FP-10) for very velocity sensitive sounds - like percussion. And I also did fast wild lead breaks with lots of pitch/mod bend (lighter keys and pitch bend on Roland A-70).

Thank you so much for sharing your presets (at Discord). They were a good base to start from! :)

Thanks to all followers and last month's track liker. :)

-------------------------------------

When the call of the ancestors echoes through the night, the shaman knows that new trials are beginning to stir. 
Within the circle of forebears he finds that quiet, ancient force that prepares him for whatever is to come. 
From ember, breath, and remembered wisdom the Iron Runes (Járnrúnar) arise — symbols of transformation, forged for those willing to grow from within and step strengthened into a new dawn.

Wenn der Ruf der Vorfahren durch die Nacht hallt, weiß der Schamane, dass sich der Schleier vor neuen Prüfungen lichtet. 
Im Kreis der Ahnen findet er jene leise, uralte Kraft, die ihn befähigt, dem Kommenden standzuhalten. 
Aus Glut, Atem und erinnerter Weisheit entstehen die Eisenrunen (Járnrúnar) – Zeichen des Wandels, geschmiedet für jene, die bereit sind, aus der Tiefe heraus zu wachsen und gestärkt in eine neue Zeit zu schreiten.

nJoY.
