One Synth Challenge #144: Rand by Sampleson

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

One Synth Challenges

One Synth Challenge - all sounds made with Pendulate

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.

Moniqosc - OSC 141

Entry for OneSynthChallenge at KVR. Every sound was made using the synth Vital - yes, including the vocals.

Vitalosc - OSC142

Beyond the Castle

Beyond the Castle | #OSC144 | Rand

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.
