Seems everyone loves the hand drums... with good reason!

really cool sound design - those low effects sounds work really well

Nice!  I like that this is a concept piece --- tells a story which is always a plus!

you can almost see someone scratching those decks

Sound design is first class - perfect for the track.

Oh this is some fun programming makes me wanna try to do something like this. A cool challenge.

One Synth Challenge #151: GR-8 by Phuturetone

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.

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.
