Jay F. - Digital Love 2.0 (OSC 67)

17 instances of PG8X (64bit).
Effects are all MUX patches (Mulab's internal modular system): 
2 reverbs ("freeverb.mux", "tight room.mux")
2 delays ("OnBeat.mux", "PingPongBeat"),
1 compressor (which I still can't handle in mulab for some reason).
No plugins.

My first One Synth Challenge and my first conscious exposure to the KVR crowd of most excellent musicians! I'm rather intimidated by the professional quality around here and just such seasoned clarity in the mixes. I'm almost ashamed to post mine, but well... it's been fun to wrestle with this beast.

Taron - A Way Back Home [PG8X]

My very first entry into the KVR OSC challenge using the PG-8X as a sound source. Tried to get a typical 80's feeling in this track. Just loved those mixtape cassettes...

Edit: Cleaned and beefed up the mix, added som missing elements, improved transitions and tweaked it some more ;)

20 instances of PG-8X was used, along with some reverb and delay.
Built-in Cubase EQ, Compressor and Limiter was used.
Mixed in Cubase 5,  with 48k/24 bit as audio mixdown settings.

Since my old JX-8P died on me, I use and love the PG-8X!

Photonic - What A Haircut

Parduz - Super Cars, White Suits & Pink Bikinis (OSC75)

Hallo zusammen, nach einer langen Abwesenheit (5 Monate sind es doch wieder geworden) passte alles zusammen um am Wettbewerb wieder teilzunehmen. Ein passendes Thema musste her: die Raumsonde DAWN.

DAWN ist ein spannendes Thema: was gibt es auf dem Zwergplaneten CERES? Asche oder Wasser? Spannend, spannend ...

Auch dieses Mal ist für den Wettbewerb ein interessanter Synth am Start, der PG-8X:
- inspiriert durch den JP-8X,
- der Sound ist klasse (sehr Analog kommt sehr gut ... :),
- der CPU-Hunger ist leider ein bischen hoch, bei dem Soundpotential aber absolut in Ordnung,
- frei erhältlich.

Alle in diesem Stück verwendeten Klänge sind von mir vom Grund auf erstellt worden. Ich werde diese nach dem Abgabetermin auf der KVR-Seite für den Synth bereitstellen (bei Interesse: link in meinem Profil nach dem 31. Mai beachten!)

Ein grosser Dank gebührt @heavynoiz fürs abhören und die Tipps für das Gesamtstück (ich schulde Dir ein Bier ;).

Viel Spass beim reinhören und Kommentare sind wie immer herzlich willkommen:)

Hi, after a long absence (5 months, what a long time) all fit together to enter the contest again.  A suitable topic was needed: the spacecraft DAWN.

DAWN is a fascinating subject: what is there on the dwarf planet Ceres? Ash or water? Exciting, exciting ...

This time is for the competition is an interesting synth at the start, the PG-8X:
- Inspired by the JP-8X,
- The sound is great (very analog comes very well ... :)
- The CPU-hunger is unfortunately a bit high, in which sound potential but absolutely fine,
- Freely available.

Many thanks to @heavynoiz for interception and tips for the whole piece (I owe you a beer ;).

All sounds are made from scratch by me and will be come after the end of the challenge (please take a look at my profile after 31 May!).

Have fun in listen to the track and comments are always welcome :)
