That is just over the top! I like how you use different scales to create such epic atmosphere...

Enter the soldier of light. He's tense and confused.

reminds me of the DUNE soundtrack most recent one a bit

Yeah interesting like soundtrack music :)

yes, I most def can hear some wakeman influences here as you've mentioned before, I was hearing the mellotron choir in the back of my mind. great composition with a massive tension building up and a proper release, great work!

reminds me a soundtrack of western movies?

I was going for that sort of choir sound - glas it sounded like that. being able to use distortion helped. I resisted the urge to make everything bright in the mastering. I think it sounds more epic and organic like this.

Great track ! Always pushing the tension further. What a journey ! Nice work on those voicings !

The Zen Pot - OSC #161 - Synth1

I finally lost the will to try to resurrect Synth1 which just kept not working in my DAW and the workarounds stopped working too. Ordinarily I would feel it's a blessing that it stopped me from tinkering with it any longer, but the mix is not quite right.

Anyway, here's my entry for the 161st edition of the One Synth Challenge - all sounds made by Synth1, when it was prepared to get out of bed.

Audio odio - OSC161

My submission for the July 2022 One Synth Challenge:

https://sites.google.com/site/kvrosc/2022/osc-161-synth1

- 83 instances of the classic freeware VST Synth1 v1.13
- All effects either freeware VSTs or FL Studio native effects
- 113 mixer tracks, lots of bussing
- 353 effects in total, not all used
- No modulation effects, overdrive/bit-crushing applied subtly per the rules
- 7886 notes
- No samples obviously, no presets used
- Upload is undoctored straight from the FL Studio render
~90% average CPU usage on average, with some parts peaking above 100% (meaning these portions take longer to render than to glitch through in realtime lol)

I tried to keep it short, promise. There are many songs for people to evaluate in this competition with undoubtably a lot of skipping-through. But this is song is many different sections strung together by a common chord progression. For such reason these markers are provided for easier evaluation:

0:13 Breakbeat/Rock instrumentation
1:12 Techno/909 section
2:20 Chiptune deviation
3:40 Electro/808 section
5:09 Acoustic string ensemble

Namesake: I played-through Fallout: New Vegas this month, often alternating between exploring The Wasteland and producing this song. In F:NV the player-character is a Courier tasked with bringing many different things concrete and otherwise to very different places with widely varying environments. Similarly this song's widely varying sections delivered to you with only brief transitions. I am The Courier.

Production: Between running out of time and being sick of hearing this track a thousand times, I am finalizing it here and now. I have good monitors but poor acoustics, no headphones and a motorbike instead of a car. As such the bass management/spectral profile is what it is. Crossing my fingers and walking away.

Happy to share the sound design behind any elements in the song, and after the competition is finalized presets can be provided on request.

I love synthesizers and cats.

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.
