Note: The words you hear are Thorns Additive/Harmonics Oscillators, it's not a simple sample playback! I have found a clever way to 'process and import' speech samples into them. I have described the process here: https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=493006&p=6984397#p6984397

Makes me miss my Kraftwerk albums! Good work! <3

You did a quite EXCELLENT... So good, I guess I'm gonna be forced to buy THORN. Some really great sounds. Gonna check out your description of vocal proxessing

Ragnarök

Völuspá
By Seap for One Synth Challenge 195, May 2025

In the Völuspá, one of the most important poems of the Poetic Edda, Ragnarök is described as the apocalyptic end of the world and the gods' fate. The poem presents a prophetic vision delivered by a völva (seeress) to Odin, recounting the world's creation and its inevitable destruction.

Ragnarök begins with a series of omens: the Fimbulwinter (a great, harsh winter), moral collapse, and chaos among humans. Then, cosmic disturbances occur—wolves devour the sun and moon, plunging the world into darkness. The world tree, Yggdrasil, trembles, and the boundaries between realms dissolve.

The gods face their doom in a final battle against the forces of chaos—giants, monsters, and Loki's brood. Odin is killed by the wolf Fenrir, Thor slays the Midgard Serpent (Jörmungandr) but dies from its poison, and other gods fall in combat.

Despite the destruction, Völuspá ends on a hopeful note: the world is reborn from the sea, new gods arise, and a golden age returns, suggesting a cyclical view of time and renewal.

Seap - Völuspá [OSC195]

(English description: please scroll down)
Björn aka @Full-Bucket hat es wieder getan: ein neuer Sythesizer. Dieses mal eine Weiterentwicklung des Ragnarok zu Ragnarok2. Ragnarok 2 ist an vielen Stellen "aufgepppt" worden und ist immer noch so interessant wie der "alte" Ragnarok:

- simuliert einen einmaligen, selbst gebauten Synthesizer aus dem Jahr 1980,
- die Bedienung ist einfach, schnell sind interessante Klänge gemacht,
- soundmässig ist der Synth grossartig, von einfachen bis auch zu (sehr) dreckig klingenden sounds,
- der CPU-Hunger ist gering.

Nach langer Zeit habe ich mir diesen Monat mal wieder etwas Zeit genommen um mit dem Synthesizer ein Stück für den KVR One Synth Challenge zu erstellen (ja, genau: nur dieser Synthesizer ist für alle Klänge erlaubt)
10 Jahre sind seit dem letzten Track mit dem Ragnarok vergangen der ich der ESA-Misson Rosetta, insbesondere Philae, gewidmet habe (Rotation 23, verdammt lang her).

Also fragte ich mich: was hat der kleine Lander auf dem Kometen erlebt, im Vorbeiflug um die Sonne und wieder zurück in das All. Was alleine schon total verrückt ist ... und so entstand der der Kometentanz mit Philae :)

Alle in diesem Stück verwendeten Klänge sind von mir von Grund auf erstellt worden oder "Tweaks" der Klänge von der Rotation 23.

Viel Spass beim reinhören und Kommentare: wie immer, herzlich willkommen:)

Björn aka @Full-Bucket has done it again: a new synthesizer. This time, a further development of Ragnarok into Ragnarok2. Ragnarok 2 has been "upgraded" in many ways and is still as interesting as the "old" Ragnarok:

- simulates a unique, self-built synthesizer from 1980,
- easy to use, interesting sounds are created quickly,
- the synth's sound is great, from simple to (very) dirty sounds,
- it's low on CPU power.

After a long time, I finally took some time this month to create a track with the synthesizer for the KVR One Synth Challenge (yes, that's right: only this synthesizer is allowed for all sounds).
10 years have passed since the last track with the Ragnarok that i dedicated to the ESA Rosetta mission, specifically Philae (Rotation 23, a long time ago).

So I asked myself: what did the little lander experience on the comet, flying past the sun and back into space? Which is totally crazy in itself... and that's how the "Kometentanz mit Philae" (comet dance with Philae) came about :)

All the sounds used in this track were created by me from scratch or are tweaks of the sounds from Rotation 23.

Enjoy listening, and comments: as always, welcome :)

I've been brought back to my video game soundtrack drafts lately. This song focuses on an atmosphere of a lush alien world that was turned into a battlefield. Although I'm happy with the usual Simmons style drums I made with this synth, there is a strange behaviour that occurs when two that uses noise instances playing simultaneously, some kind of weird phasing/flanging effect. I tried to minimize it as much as possible, but I can still hear it. The synth itself has good tone shaping capabilities and it's CPU efficient just like all Full Bucket instruments. I really like the sound of an overdrive and chorus effects, the much needed sauce for a virtual analog.

34 instances used to create a track.

Syringe [OSC196]

This is my submission to the #kvraudio #OneSynthChallenge #196 featuring the VST Synth Primer 2 by Audible Genius

All sounds are coming from the Synth acompanied by a number of moderate tone shaping, mixing and mastering fx. I Mix/Master with MeldaProduction EQ/Compressor, Auburn Lense, Loudmax Limiter. All fx free or built into the DAW. DAW is Bitwig 5.3.x. No Samples. No Postprocessing after the audio export.

Primer 2 is a simple synth VST plugin built for learning. Designed for Syntorial (the award-winning synthesizer training app), it contains the most common controls found on most subtractive/analogue synths, allowing for a wide variety of patches and sounds, while presenting a simple and easy-to-understand interface and layout.

A Tribute to my long time heros Kraftwerk and Dmitry Sches #Thorn! I admire  Kraftwerk since my (long gone) teenage days and they have influenced my music in an indisputable way. 

The inspiration came thru my Speech Experiments with Thorns additive Oscillators! Actually the words you hear are clever processed samples I have put into the "wavetable" oscillators. It's not the simple sample playback. And the outcome - somehow robotized - immediately reminded me of Kraftwerk. Read about the process here: https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=493006&start=1065#p6984397

Since a very long time I have planned to do a Tribute to their outstanding Track "Numbers" (link see below), but I was in fear to do a complete fail that does no justice to Kraftwerk...Now the Synth Thorn took over control of the creative process as I mentioned and directed me to the piece your now listening, too. Enjoy!

This is my contribution to #OSC #105 featuring Thorn as the only instrument accompanied by just "some" FX. 
Thorns Oscillators are additive ones, where you can edit the harmonics (strenght and phase) in the synth. But you can also load samples to one of the 16 slots. With clever preparation you can load short samples, split into 16 segments, into the "wavetable". Then when played go thru slot 1 up to 16 you can get a "recreation" of the original sample. Due to the nature of the process it will never sound like the original, but for this song the "vocoder" like sound fit just perfectly
