OSC is the One Synth Challenge on KVR forums. Every month a single free vst synth is chosen to make an entire song and create all instruments with it.
Though I skipped a few months, I felt this could make a nice album, which likely is to grow some more, if soundcloud permits it.

Taron - Blixir [Voltage Modular]

17 instances of PG8X (64bit).
Effects are all MUX patches (Mulab's internal modular system): 
2 reverbs ("freeverb.mux", "tight room.mux")
2 delays ("OnBeat.mux", "PingPongBeat"),
1 compressor (which I still can't handle in mulab for some reason).
No plugins.

My first One Synth Challenge and my first conscious exposure to the KVR crowd of most excellent musicians! I'm rather intimidated by the professional quality around here and just such seasoned clarity in the mixes. I'm almost ashamed to post mine, but well... it's been fun to wrestle with this beast.

Taron - A Way Back Home [PG8X]

OSC #76 (Mantra Evo)

STORY:
Mantrolls, the weird creatures, who got conjured up by the crooked signals of the ominous Mantra Evo, haunt this song, slowly rising into a competition for attention and taunting each other. They come in all shapes and forms, some of them almost able to sing, others utterly tone-deaf. If you hang in there, you will get to see them dance, though...and they're weird at that, too! O_o

UPDATE:
- June 22nd (v2) ...tuned all EQ frequencies and drums some more. Added high frequency bells to main passage to open up the mix some more.

- June 24th (v4)...totally altered master EQ, added side-chained EQ pass to give it a lot more energy, added sounds to saturate empty frequencies (odd thing to do)... I'm still not sure about any of it, but well...I just hope I won't develop bad habits here?!

STATS:
30 instances of Mantra Evo (the little beasty)
daw:
MuLab (www.mutools.com)

- "Getting lost around Downtown Charlatan"
OSC#77 - Charlatan
Charlatan instances: 39
DAW: MuLab ( www.mutools.com )
FX:
internal mux effect (TeaVerb, Tightroom, stereo, parametric EQ, 2 Band EQ, 4 Band EQ, delay cross, PingPongBeat, OnBeat, Amp SIM 30)

other free effects (Maxwell_Smart (jbridged), Nova-64P, Voxengo Boogex, Voxengo SPAN, LoudMax64)

This has been more or less another mixing experiment, which is why I have more than one limiter on it and this interesting Nova-64P dynamic EQ, which I haven't fully explored, yet, but it sounds rich!

STORY:
City Wolf comes from the country to the city of Charlatan for the first time. Dazzled by the different neighborhoods, he eventually gets lost. That's all...for now! 8}





Taron - CityWolf [Charlatan]

OSC#78
...garbage in, garbage out... I'm kind of ashamed.
This thing is utterly unfinished in every regard. First I didn't take the time, then I didn't have the time and when I did, it was like pulling teeth with this thing and it's 5 minute interval hanging on my machine. But I really couldn't do it any justice for it has some real potential as everybody else is showing...
