this is a pretty fun track. tiny bit loud on the high end at places, but true to form kept interesting with the variation you've become good at 👍

i like this almost gabber style kick and wondering if you brought that little bassline down an octave and pumped that kick up around 60 Hz it might bust some speakers up

Love how you get playful and groovy with those twiddly and twinkling sounds!

One happy party! It's got this African feel that i like very much

Oddly it's reminding me of Orbital's Philosophy by Numbers.

Fun breakdown with cool "randomy" sounds.

It's basically one loop, you can skip back and forth without any discomfort. That alone is not necessary a bad thing, but for a very repetitive piece its misses some interesting other things like sounds that are really catching, some texture that evolves, when thinking of a forest even a small bit of wind through the leaves or something like that. IMHO.

One Synth Challenge #201: Kontrast by Dawesome

dj kvars - planetarium

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).

@J.Ruegg
@Taron
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.

Composition, Production, Sound Design done By myself.
2 Patches based on Preset, but modified. 
(The Melody is based on TSOMs great Duduking preset, but with added noise and roughness)

Only The Speech sound uses a self recorded sample that is linearly played, the sound is still strongly modified by Kontrast.
