This work is one of those that is beyond my understanding! I can't imagine how much time and effort there is here!

It's a shame the automation broke on the entry version. It still sounds okay, but this is indeed much better.

Entries for KVR's One Synth Challenge: one month and one free synthesiser to create one track. Effects can be used, but only if they don't change the character of the sound coming out of the synth. Find it here: https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=301957

Synth DX7 - Twilight Horizon, Obscurity Reigns. Nightfall (OSC #193 DS Thorn)

blue [OSC193]

Inspired by First Knight, this track tells the story of Camelot’s rise and fall. At first, the kingdom thrives in peace and prosperity. Then, the arrival of Lancelot brings both hope and glory to Camelot, but also ignites a spark in Guinevere’s heart. Torn between duty and desire, she is consumed by guilt and despair, knowing she has given herself to Lancelot despite her promise to Arthur. As their forbidden love unfolds, tensions grow, and when Arthur discovers the truth, emotions and loyalties are tested. The music reflects both the fierce battles on the battlefield and the silent struggles within the hearts of its greatest heroes, culminating in the inevitable fall of the legendary kingdom.

Pendulosc - OSC 140

My entry for the 141st edition of the OSC, a track made only from the Monoplugs synth Monique and some free effects processors. It started out as a tribute to the Ozric Tentacles and turned into an 8-bit dnb soundtrack to Street Fighter II: Tweety-Pie vs Godzilla.

Zany Undergrad - OSC143

Meet Rand, a synth that really won't behave itself. When you open it up, there's one button that randomly resets all the parameters. You never know what you're going to get. 

Okay, so you can go under the hood and tweak things, but they never stay tweaked. It's frustrating and yet also quite stimulating. This effort is an attempt to embrace the randomness - every time the track is rendered from the DAW, it comes out slightly differently. 

So imagine what the others must have sounded like.
