That bass.... proves it doesn't have to be loud to be big!

What a cool non-standard lesd sound, Percs are pretty awesome...

That hook always gets me. Love it dearly!

This whole section to end is indeed angelic!

One Synth Challenge #190: Vital by Vital Audio

Vital, Live 11 + effects, Ozone, Nectar 3, Neutron 3, Sausage Fattener, FF Timeless2, OTT, 80+ instances.

This is an end of the year tribute to the OSC community. Thanks everyone for 10+ years of reasons to finish a track most months. See if you can spot an allusion to your handle. Sorry I couldn't get a reference to everyone. Some are more conducive to cheesy lyrics than others and I also ran out of room. If you weren't included doesn't mean I don't like you...

Lyrics:
Calling the Doctor 
Have you seen the Goose?
Ghost's Never Been in a Riot
With a Madman on the loose
 
The E.M.P. is on the track
The E.M.P. is on the track

Merlin sounds like liquid
Elusive Milk romance
An I.V. full of silence
Taron up zee pants

The E.M.P. is on the track
The E.M.P. is on the track
On...

El Vicente's on the track
Emikaela's on the track
Hennessey is on the track
Z is on the track

The O.S.C.

The Virus has potential
to Rob you of your Brain
And Silver Trees Seep into your dreams
Exponential Negative pain

The E.M.P. is on the track
The E.M.P. is on the track
On the track
On...

The O.S.C.

E.M.P.  (OSC 190 Vital 2)

KVR "One Synth Challenge" entry #190 with Vital vst

ZioMau - Trees

This is my submission to the #kvraudio #OneSynthChallenge #190 featuring the VST Synth Vital from Matt Tytel.
All sounds are coming from the Synth acompanied by a number of moderate tone shaping, mixing and mastering fx. All fx free or built into the DAW. DAW is Bitwig 5.3.x. No Samples. No Postprocessing after the audio export.

What it says on the KVR-Site about still ongoing buzz around Vital: Vital - the awesome spectral morphing wavetable synth is currently at version 1.5. We last visited this beast about four years ago in OSC142 and it is still the 'goto' synth of choice for many.

All sounds from init except the vocal pad is a tweaked factory patch. 

What does the title/pic mean? 
I have had many dreams throughout my life about finding hidden doors that lead to magical places. The picture is of a abandoned stairway in a house I lived in for a few years in college. Leads to the backside of a refrigerator. I had dreams about that house, that there were secret floors burrowed back into the hillside, etc. And at one point years later I couldn't remember if this abandoned stairway really was there or I just dreamed it.

Anyway making this triggered another of that type of dream.

One Synth Challenge #197:  Odin2 by TheWaveWarden

-------------------------------------------------------

This month was a real challenge!

When I looked at Odin, I came up with the idea of a true One (!) Synth Challenge – just a single instance, no excuses.
I dove deep into sound design and quickly realized: this would become a real borderline experience.

While endlessly tweaking, I kept discovering new sonic paths – sometimes inspiring, sometimes frustrating.
Odin could be pretty temperamental when dealing with MIDI, but in the end, I managed to shape something that feels raw, tense, and expressive.

So here it is: Grenzerfahrung (borderline experience) –
a track born from limitation, chaos, and way too many hours. ;)

NJoy. Any feedback welcome.

My entry for OSC#197

"There's almost something spiritual about two proud gnomes on unicycles - accelerating to battle speed, each holding aloft a large frozen herring."

Borderline self-parody, I see this as the last hurrah on a string of increasingly silly songs.
