Name: Vitalosc - OSC142 by TapTapDoubleTap in One Synth Challenges
Duration: 4 min 56 s
Description: Entry for OneSynthChallenge at KVR. Every sound was made using the synth Vital - yes, including the vocals.

This is really great. A nice use of what makes the synth distinctive.

I really love the concept (and your beats). Every time this has come on it's made me laugh, but it's also made me pick up the little details and cool elements you've placed in here.

The multiple voices/multiple languages kind of give a later-Kraftwerk vibe.

Fun and unique! it's another track quite like it :D

good job on vocals and concept! also nice sounds and many interesting parts throughout.

I really like that you let the voices lead the direction of the track.  really fun concept and nice execution!

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

As always, a track that I made in the last days. The drums, choirs, distorted rhythm tracks and some of the SFX are made from scratch, the rest is a slightly modified stock presets. This synth reminds me a bit of old Massive (but with much better looking graphics) in terms of functionality and signal path. The glitch sequencer and arpeggiator are really handy to create interesting patterns. The effects section is pretty cool, especially the distortion module, an ultimate spice of the synth that I used (if not to say "abused") all the time. It can range from subtle saturation to a face melting tones. Also, this synth is great for making electronic drums and cymbals (though I would prefer to select the noise in the oscillator to be able to stack three noise sources in the single patch). This synth would definitely fit my setup.

Vasabi

VVasabi (OSC#193)

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.

Thanks to Emikaela for the image - which I expanded upon.

Cobalamin

There's something on the slow and dark side and continuation on the theme of imagined PS1 era game soundtrack.

I made this track as a submission for KVR forum's One Synth Challenge #193

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.
