Description: Hard Trance, Track for KVR One Synth Challenge #198, Made with Surge XT (Synthesizer)

I like this wall of sound thing going on.

I like how the arp is mixed in the background. Sounds far away but still alive

This is a nice piece with solid ideas and nice motifs but it’s the mix and mastering stage that hamstring this.

Also enjoyed the wall of sound but it's perhaps being pushed a bit hard into the limiter.

I think the pantaloons had a kindred month of sound 😁

This song has many good elements and motifs but unfortunately they have been severerly damaged by all the limiting that's going on. If everything is loud then no element or idea can take the stage and get highlighted. I recommend to use the free Youlean Loudness Meter on the master track to measure the loudness of the song(s) and to compare them to the loudness targets or normalization levels of the different platforms like Soundcloud, YouTube, Spotify, etc.

For this OSC Any Synth Challenge, I chose the PS-3300, a beautiful software emulation of a late 1970s analogue polyphonic synthesizer from KORG. Cherry Audio developed this soft synth. Every sound you hear was created using the PS-3300. I tried to create an overall sound that matches the capabilities of a studio production in 1978. This is in honour of this beautiful synthesizer and its creators.

29 instances of PS-3300 by Cherry Audio 
Reverbs: Body &Soul by TSOM, VertiVerb by Audiority and VitaliumVerb
Delays: Deelay by Sixth Sample and Dual Delay X by UVI
EQ: Claro by Sonnox and Graphic EQ by Viator
Compression: FET-76 by Arturia
Enhancer: Type B by Audiothing
Mastering: Smart:Limiter and Smart:EQ4 by Sonible

Please note: I haven't used any distortion or saturation plugin to create the guitar tone. It's all been synthesized in PS-3300

My Submission for August 2025 OSC. 7 Tracks, powered by FLStudio and Quilcomm's Trout. Maximus for loudness.

Based on various incarnations of the Trautonium - a Synth Design originating in the 1930's. I chose Trout because I've wanted to try my hand as something very old and very strange with the plugin. And oh my - it's strange.

Cover is AI generated this time - Colors and some things fixed/added afterwards. My blender skills aren't THAT good. 

Early synths defined some of the sounds and vibes that powered Science Fiction, so I went with something that evoked a dangerous and strange job in space. Enjoy!
