such a cool vibe. the sheer number of kick drums is 🤯

you are pushing the mix hard which i love i think maybe this one could breathe a bit more overall very interesting and fascinating sound design

Nice sounddesign!  but abit too much compression i.m.h.o.

A little on the short side this track, but those growling bass in the second part and the distorted pipe-like percussions…! Yessir!

I agree with the others. This could be more dynamic. This feels like the kind of mixing that makes things sound smaller instead of bigger. Besides this I do like the mood and the vibe. It's like a magical gathering of all kinds of nature gods, pagans, ghosts and wizards which to me is far more important than technical issues.

Very atmospheric but with a feeling of restraint.

Really nice, dense, dark atmosphere, very mystical.

A small but powerful synthesiser that I had a lot of fun with! Excellent support from TILR, who spared no effort in troubleshooting problems and implementing suggestions. I have never seen so many updates during the course of development. And not because things weren't working, but to improve them. Very good support and many thanks again!

Dreams

Here's my entry for the OSC #200 challenge. A few people in our OSC Discord responded enthusiastically when I said I was planning to make a contemporary hippie piece. A promise is a promise. Dr Bob immediately sent me live recordings of his band from the good old days. But with my background, with Zebralette and the OSC rules, I can't quite match that. But don't worry, I've tried to capture the spirit of the Flower Power generation which was great fun.

Dark Ride [OSC #200 Zebralette 3 Beta]

Entry for OSC-200

My concept this month was to use both of my keyboards (I now have 2!) - to their respective strengths.
I used the fully weighted piano controller (Roland FP-10) for very velocity sensitive sounds - like percussion. And I also did fast wild lead breaks with lots of pitch/mod bend (lighter keys and pitch bend on Roland A-70).

Thank you so much for sharing your presets (at Discord). They were a good base to start from! :)

Thanks to all followers and last month's track liker. :)

-------------------------------------

When the call of the ancestors echoes through the night, the shaman knows that new trials are beginning to stir. 
Within the circle of forebears he finds that quiet, ancient force that prepares him for whatever is to come. 
From ember, breath, and remembered wisdom the Iron Runes (Járnrúnar) arise — symbols of transformation, forged for those willing to grow from within and step strengthened into a new dawn.

Wenn der Ruf der Vorfahren durch die Nacht hallt, weiß der Schamane, dass sich der Schleier vor neuen Prüfungen lichtet. 
Im Kreis der Ahnen findet er jene leise, uralte Kraft, die ihn befähigt, dem Kommenden standzuhalten. 
Aus Glut, Atem und erinnerter Weisheit entstehen die Eisenrunen (Járnrúnar) – Zeichen des Wandels, geschmiedet für jene, die bereit sind, aus der Tiefe heraus zu wachsen und gestärkt in eine neue Zeit zu schreiten.

nJoY.
