One instance but enough variety in dynamics make it sounds great. Very plucky in high registers but very deep in low.

Everyone should try at least once go for one instance. It is really good experience and good challenge. I've done it once but I will try to do another one again sometimes.

Great work, really nice composition and sound! Was expecting a more glorious ending than a fade out though

one instance, pah. I want to hear what you can do with half of an instance, you need a challenge.

the sound does work splendidly with the composition. tasteful.

What a nice piece! I downloaded Synister to see what it is, and it has very few preset sounds. Did you make the sounds yourself? I know by now that you can even squeeze music out of an orange...

Each track is done with one specific synth to create all instruments. It's KVR's OneSynthChallenge that made them manifest. The majority of synths are free vst instruments from the web. It's quite amazing what beauty waits for you to just download it and have at it.
All of them are done with my favorite DAW: MuLab (www.mutools.com)

In fact, no Delay or Reverb plugin was used (not even with Panagement; wet on 0%), but only the internal FX within ExtraBold. Reverbs in there are a bit long and there's literally no control over them other than wetness. Curious concept. But, hey, it all works quite well for its simplicity. All in all, pretty neat little synth with just enough control to get plenty of complexity and variety. I like it! 😎👍

Taron - Stealing the Ragnarök

Track I made for KVR's One Synth Challenge (OSC) #196. This is the first OSC challenge I have competed in, and the first track I would say I've "finished". It's crazy dense, and I've never made something like this before, but I hope someone likes it! Dedicated to Berlin and it's amazing EDM culture.

Spaghetti Code Groove [OSC197]

This is my submission to the #kvraudio #OneSynthChallenge #197 featuring the VST Synth Odin 2 by The Wave Warden

All sounds are coming from the Synth acompanied by a number of moderate tone shaping, mixing and mastering fx. I Mix/Master with MeldaProduction EQ/Compressor, Auburn Lense, Loudmax Limiter. All fx free or built into the DAW. DAW is Bitwig 5.3.x. No Samples. No Postprocessing after the audio export.

Odin 2 -  by The Wavewarden, now with an updated interface.

The sound of this 24-voice polyphonic beast will take you from your studio right to Valhalla! There are three oscillators whose types include analog, wavetable, vector, chiptune, FM, phasemod and noise. Waveforms can also be hand drawn. These can be routed through up to three excellent filters with all the usual types plus comb, formant and ring modulator. For modulation there are envelopes, LFO's, an  x-y pad and an arpeggiator, along with a mod-matrix  for easy routing. The FX section includes delay, phaser, flanger, chorus and reverb, all of which can be easily reordered using drag and drop. The interface is an intuitive semi-modular design, making sound design easy and fun. Odin 2 is free, powerful, fun, and available for Mac/Windows and Linux.

The Pipers From The North
By Seap for One Synth Challenge 198, August 2025

Single synth of choice: Kult (Dawesome)

Each autumn, when the heather turned purple on the hills, the bagpipers came down from the highlands. At first, the village children heard only a faint drone, like the earth humming underfoot. They would freeze in their games, eyes wide, and scramble up into the oak trees to see better.

The sound grew, weaving and swelling, until it filled the valley like a storm of music—low drones rolling like thunder, sharp notes flashing like lightning. By the time the pipers emerged from the misted slopes, it was no longer a handful of men but an orchestra carried on the wind itself.

The villagers gathered in silence, listening. Year after year, the same mystery unfolded: a reminder that the mountains still breathed, and that the world above the clouds sent down its song to be heard.
