This month's One Synth Challenge synth here: https://www.phuturetone.com
An awesome synth, and free too

The One Synth Challenge is a monthly contest on the KVR audio forum:
https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=569994

Each month a synth is chosen, and contestants must make an entire track using only that synth for all parts.  This is my entry for OSC 151

Aiyn Zahev - Equinox

KVR.com's One Synth Challenge #151 
Created in Ableton Live 11. 70+ instances of the free VST synth GR-8.
Built in Live effects (Comp, EQ, Saturation, Delay, Hybrid Reverb, Auto Filter)
VST effects: Super Massive, Limiter 6.

Step into the fog one paw at a time (OSC 151 GR8)

Edit: Always check your uploads people - this is the wrong one. Somehow the funky acid bass sound at the start has not managed to render in the version I've put up. I'll change it after the competition but the intro is not as intended. Pah. It should sound like this: https://soundcloud.com/taptapdoubletap/osc-151-dj-battles-properly-rendered

Too many DJs think they're GR-8 turntablists.

So you're at a party, right, and one guy wants to play trance, and the other guy wants to play hip hop and you just wish they'd stop arguing and get on with it.

All effects are Ableton Live
Phuturetone's GR-8 x37
Drums x6
DJ FX x3
"Tablas" and "Bongos" x4
Sort of neuro bass x6
Wub bass x4
Electro/Trap/Trance instruments x5
Textures and risers x9

Effects: lots of Limiters, most things have Compressor, EQ8, some Glue Compressors, a few Hybrid Reverbs and Reverbs, AutoFilter for the risers, Shaper to turn an arp into hi hats with LFOs. But most of the effects are in GR-8 and I made a lot of use of the internal distortion, EQ, reverb and chorus.

ELEX - The  Life and Times of Pully the 'Pole

This is my submission to the KVR One Synth Challence #151. All sounds produced by the synth GR-8 by Phuturetone.

Harmonica Jim waits for lunch, quietly anticipating eating the delicious sandwich sitting on the table before him. The hour draws near. He begins unwrapping the sandwich. In the distance, he hears a rider approaching. He frowns.

As the clock strikes 12, a scruffy stranger arrives on a tall horse. He dismounts and approaches Harmonica Jim's table, brushing off the dust of the trail. "I've been riding nonstop since last night," he says. "Spare a cup of water and a bite to eat?"

"You're welcome to draw some water from the well," Harmonica Jim replies, "but I only have the one sandwich."

The stranger licks his lips dryly, eyeing the sandwich. "Any chance you could, uh, make another?"

"Fresh out of meat."

"A slice of bread, then?"

"Fresh out of bread, too."

The two stare for a minute, sizing each other up.

"Could ya split the sandwich then?" asks the stranger.

Jim squints. "This sandwich isn't big enough for the two of us, friend."

The stranger squints back. "I ain't your friend, buddy."

"I'm not your buddy, stranger. Are we going to have a problem here?"

"We might just."

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.
