Just wanted to say that I also had trouble with SE Polymod losing my patches (in Reaper for me). Fortunately I had a recent backup of the project and was able to copy/paste.

Sweet song! I want to make something like this next time, too - some gentle electronica! Well done.

Beutiful chillout track! It shows the possibility of making very soft and gentle timbres from this synth. Thi mix quality is pretty decent, but I should point out some things. I like how yuo made your woodwinds in second and third sections, and also how percussion elements were made, but in the first section the piano and the bass are equally upfront and complelling for listener's attention. I would use tremolo/autopan effect to make piano more wider in the stereo field, or may be I would use more softer bass sound for this section. Anyway, it is a very good entry! GL!

There is nothing wrong with a nice relaxing track.  It does well for your goal for it.

Nice snare, didn't hear enough traditional snares in this osc.

A few off notes here, could have brought it back home a little earlier.  Still good work.

very first impression is good with those lovely sounds

i'm finding the bass a bit dominant in the mix perhaps, but the sounds are all good

I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying this when the bigger beat comes in during such a chill track, but it works :)

yeah some of the notes are a bit dodgey which distracts for me! but only a bit :)

Working with Synth1 is like meeting an old friend. You know exactly what to expect from it, yet still it can surprise you with something new. I stated my whole music making hobby five years ago with this instrument. I even found my old presets, created in 2017, which I used in this track. Some of those sounds still couldn't be matched by commercial instruments. There is some magic behind the code of Synth1, especially in the effects section. I definitely could make a whole album with it.

And it also can make one of the most realistic electric guitar sounds (among free software).

39 instances of Synth1 used. Some instruments were created by layering two or more instances. All sounds from "initial sound".

Some commercial FX were used.

For OSC 161, made entirely with Synth1
28 instances + a few free FX in REAPER 6

I opened Synth1 a couple times when I was first learning that VSTs exist, but never really gave it any attention back then. It was really refreshing to explore it this month, having 4+ more years of experience with synths and production now.

i dont need another luv

가사


i dont need another luv

어쩌면 사랑보다 이핼 필요로로 할 뿐야

그치만 그런 사람이 별로 없다는걸 너 또한 잘 알아


i dont need another luv

너 같은 사람 찾아도 어디도 없는걸

알아 우린 아니라는걸

결국 내가 찾는건 just you,girl
 


어쩜 우린 상황까지 닮아있어

이미 현실의 벽에 한계를 느꼈어

dont love

이게 우리가 떠오른 수단이었고

우리 자신을 사랑하기로 했어




i just think about the luv

한마디로는 fucking luv

난 나에게 자유롭고 싶어

사랑을 포기한 놈

i dont need another luv

i dont need anything luv



i dont need another luv

어쩌면 사랑보다 이핼 필요로로 할 뿐야

그치만 그런 사람이 별로 없다는걸 너 또한 잘 알아


i dont need another luv

너 같은 사람 찾아도 어디도 없는걸

알아 우린 아니라는걸

결국 내가 찾는건 just you,girl


나도 찾고 있어 find new luv

사람에게 데일까봐 두려워

난 진짜 얽매이고 싶지않아

그런 관계가

나를 지치게 하잖아 

모르겠지만


타인의 사랑이 아닌

내가 나를 사랑할래

타인의 사랑은 이제 느끼지 못해

아니 느끼기 싫어

그런 사소한 감정들이

하루종일 날 괴롭히게 만들어



날 힘들게 만들어

옆에 있던 친구들도

그만 만나고 싶고

집가고 싶고

작업이나 하고싶어


i dont need another luv

어쩌면 사랑보다 이핼 필요로로 할 뿐야

그치만 그런 사람이 별로 없다는걸 너 또한 잘 알아


i dont need another luv

너 같은 사람 찾아도 어디도 없는걸

알아 우린 아니라는걸

결국 내가 찾는건 just you,girl

The Exponent

Polymorphism

Polymorphism (OSC 120 SE-PolyMod)

I felt pretty drained after Waverazor. The good thing about SE Polymod is it's much faster to make sounds. However the synth definitely has it's idiosyncrasies - I was having issues with the instances resetting to the default patch when loading (I think it was an issue with the auto-disable setting in FL that I later turned off). The mono settings for the synth don't seem to work correctly so I trimmed my midi so noted didn't overlap. The filter envelope seems to add some strange crackle on the release phase. It took us a while to figure out how to use the LFO. The mod matrix brings the synth to life, although sometimes it seems to spike. Luckily I didn't have issues with crashing, and it seemed to handle lots of mono patches, and a couple poly ones. I had fun, and good luck to the rest of you with your entries!
