One Synth Challenge #151: GR-8 by Phuturetone

This month's One Synth Challenge synth here: https://www.phuturetone.com
An awesome synth, and free too

The One Synth Challenge is a monthly contest on the KVR audio forum:
https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=569994

Each month a synth is chosen, and contestants must make an entire track using only that synth for all parts.  This is my entry for OSC 151

Aiyn Zahev - Equinox

KVR.com's One Synth Challenge #151 
Created in Ableton Live 11. 70+ instances of the free VST synth GR-8.

Entry to September 2021 KVR's One Synth Challenge

All sounds made with GR-8 by Phuturetone

Reykjavik

In this track for the OSC # 159 I used 33 instances of the free Surge XT synthesizer.

DAW: Cubase 11 Pro (Frequency, GEQ-30,  Stereo Delay,  Revelation, Tube Compressor, AutoPan and Maximizer)

Free 3rd party plugs: Panagement 2 by Auburn, Baby Come Back by Baby Audio, MCharmverb by Melda Production, Wider by Polyverse Music and Supermassive by Valhalla.

All sounds are TSOM originals. Except: Flutish Organ and the 10CC Choir Pad are tweaks I did with some wonderful presets by Martijn Deluxe. The Alien Voice has been created using the Vowel/Speech wavetable in Surge's TWIST engine.

Surge XT - Utopian Mornings

Composed and produced for the KVR One Synth Challenge 159, Surge XT.

26 instances of Surge, with all effects in the Surge patches. 

Cakewalk DAW processing:
- Gain on buses, for mixing.
- EQ on final bus: High pass, low pass, small bump at 3kHz.
No compression, etc.

**Surge Storm** is an exploration of sound design in physical instruments and sounds. These are all my own patches, some of which are included in Surge. Most of the physical instruments here mimic generation and body resonances researched from real instruments, driven by controllers for mechanical setup and playing actions. This gives me a dynamic instrument that responds in a variety of articulations and styles, without needing samples.

Here, I've used a few time signatures. It has a wide dynamic range and frequency coverage, so you'll get the most from ideal listening conditions. Unfortunately, the thunder sound has lost a lot of its character here in the lo-fi Soundcloud playback. The download will give you the best experience.

Comments and crits appreciated.

Another Surge Of Ambience - OSC #159 Surge XT

My entry for KVR One Synth Challenge #159.  This month it's the fantastic Surge XT from Surge Synth Team.  

Recorded in Bitwig with 13 instances of Surge XT and either free or Bitwig native effects.

OSC159 - Surge XT

Dissolution

Entirely made with Surge Xt synth using reaper for the kvr's  One Synth Challenge #159

I went for a big contrast... so watch out your volume  setting  :)

Made everything from scratch as I like to do. I had the impression I could have made 5 distinct tracks but that distorded sound I found out put me on rails for kind of a RATM tribute. So it got out pretty despaired and harsh, but I hope you enjoy listening to it nonetheless.

Surge of the Machine

All sounds created with Surge XT in Bitwig 4.2

Subcycles

Made for OSC  159 using 12 Surge synth instances in Ableton Live,
+ Ableton stock EQs, Reverbs, Compressors.

My Swing

Made for OSC 159, using 0 instances of Surge XT, and 100 instances of Surge XT Effects. nothing else.

Twigs

no no no no no no no satellite

Leonard Bowman - no no no no no no no satellite

This is my track for OSC#159, made in Cakewalk by Bandlab using 20 instances of Surge XT (10/10 of my/factory presets) and the next effects: OTT, Verberate Basic 2, Flux Mini, SeeSaw, M/Ster Balance, Wider, Oril River, Satellite. And GMonoBass and Broadcast on the Master.

This synthesis of synthwave and musical arthouse was written as a long hypnotic jam, I played these variations over and over again and didn't notice how it got so long. But now, as they say, "You can't throw no one word out of the song!", so I'm ready for any comments on this and other reasons, anything that will help make the next track even better!)
