A really fun, poppy package. Love the exuberance, and the bouncy sound design. Nicely done.

Great job not being tempted by Kairatunes high end, which is formidable

uplifting section.  more in service in the piece than the synth, I do like this.

Nice - fun and a little quirky feeling....

Nicely creative and well-produced.  Enjoyed itl.

sounds very good, I like the idea behind this track, I would have liked you also put some bass riffs a la Kanda Bongo Man Congolese soukous.

One Synth Challenge #145: Kairatune by Futucraft

Another OneSynthChallenge track, for OSC 145 in March 2021, this time using Kairatune. I made heavy use of Ableton Live's instrument racks to create the sounds.

Treeheated - Pavane

OSC entry. All sounds made with instances of the same virtual synthesizer, this month it's Kairatune. It presented quite a challenge as it's monophonic and has limited oscillator wave forms and quirky integration.

30 instances of Kairatune in Live 11. Hybrid Reverb, EQ8, compression, limiter, saturation, delay, and Valhalla Super Massive.

z.prime - Optimism

For this track I used 11 instances of a wonderful synth named Thorn by Dmitry Sches (DS Audio). All modulations of the parameters have been done live by making use of aftertouch and/or the modulation wheel. So no automations other than some volume changes here and there. In a studio setting, I think this makes the music nice and organic. Of course, a DJ on stage always does this. 

The title “Anemoia” is referring to the phenomenon of feeling nostalgic to a time or place that one has not experienced before...

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

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is considered the most chemically complex of all the vitamins.
The core of the molecule is a corrin ring, which is centered around a single cobalt atom.
The molecular formula is C63H88CoN14O14P.
Its molar mass is approximately 1355.38 g/mol, which is considerably larger and more complex than many other vitamins.

Cobalamin

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.
