Like this break section from here on, nice Filter play in there You have so many interesting sounds which actually work together. You were already on a five on my spreadsheet, so i’m sorry that i can’t give you an extra point for the plop :(

another crazy sonic exploration. where is your limit? ...do you have a limit?

crazy and cool,  love the riff at the start

SP goes... well I don't know the genre actually.... but it works.  I guess this is the audio equivalent of vitamin B12 -- I feel healthier already.

The melody is very catchy - and all that "stuff" around it is just fun.

You need to ease up on the vitamins!  Nice song - very energetic.

---------------------------------------------------
The Awakening is a playful musical journey through the battle within—an exploration of self-doubt, fear, and the struggle to break free. It captures the voice inside that holds us back, the moments of uncertainty, and the eventual realization that the only true enemy is ourselves.

Narrative:
---------------------------------------------------
Krit was a small boy, often feeling like he didn’t quite fit in.
Despite his achievements, there was always a quiet voice telling him, 
"You don’t belong". 
He told himself it was normal, part of growing up. But it never went away. 
Then one night, he had a dream.

🌅 Act 1: The Dream
He ran through wide, golden fields, feeling light and free. For the first time in a long time, he didn’t have to think, everything just felt right.

🌑 Act 2: The Nightmare
Suddenly, the world grew still. The fields shrank, and a shadow appeared in front of him.
"You don’t belong."
The air thickened. He couldn’t move, and the doubt that always lingered felt overwhelming.
"You are nothing."

⚔️ Act 3: The Ascent
A shift. Krit started to move. Slowly at first, then faster. The shadow loomed, but he kept going. The doubt didn’t disappear, but it no longer held him back.

🌟 Act 4: The Awakening
He pushed forward, the weight lifting with each step. The shadow faded, and with it, the doubt.
Krit didn’t stop. He had awakened, and nothing would hold him back again.
---------------------------------------------------
I would like to thank Taron and The Sound Of Merlin for their valuable feedback and guidance in refining certain aspects of this song, truly grateful!

The Awakening (OSC 193 Thorn)

I'm diving headfirst into the JRPG vibes here. I originally set out to make a more subdued track but somehow a hint of epic flavor snuck in.

Thanks for listening!

As always, a track that I made in the last days. The drums, choirs, distorted rhythm tracks and some of the SFX are made from scratch, the rest is a slightly modified stock presets. This synth reminds me a bit of old Massive (but with much better looking graphics) in terms of functionality and signal path. The glitch sequencer and arpeggiator are really handy to create interesting patterns. The effects section is pretty cool, especially the distortion module, an ultimate spice of the synth that I used (if not to say "abused") all the time. It can range from subtle saturation to a face melting tones. Also, this synth is great for making electronic drums and cymbals (though I would prefer to select the noise in the oscillator to be able to stack three noise sources in the single patch). This synth would definitely fit my setup.

VVasabi (OSC#193)

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is considered the most chemically complex of all the vitamins.
The core of the molecule is a corrin ring, which is centered around a single cobalt atom.
The molecular formula is C63H88CoN14O14P.
Its molar mass is approximately 1355.38 g/mol, which is considerably larger and more complex than many other vitamins.
