What? I've just started listening to this and it stops? Outrageous!

Absolutely beautiful piece with plenty of outstanding moments, a great sense of contentment with the right touch of gratitude woven into it. Sound design is beautiful and unique. I sure wouldn't mind a proper continuation! 🥰

Embedded in silence, this piece, with a synth that delivers pure sound, and the ambience/reverb is very strong just because it is there but nothing more.  The strings after 3:15 sound very realistic like they are real samples.  Are they?  What do you mean with ‘no mpe’? Do you use channel aftertouch to control the modulation? Nice composition this is.

This section is really good. The water-like bubble sounds and the sounds like wooden chimes are very relaxing. I’d love it even if there were a track with just these elements. It's also amazing that you didn't use any outside FX. Well done! !

Dune 3 - Between Venus & Mars

An entry for One Synth Challenge 208 - OB-Xf

Made in REAPER, using OB-Xf  for 9 FX, 14 instruments,  11 percs

aided by: 
HOFA System Gain & Pan, TDR NOVA, ReaEQ, A1 Stereo Control, Kclip Zero and Flux Bittersweet  mildly nipping & tucking on assorted  tracks,
HY-Delay doing the obvious on lead, strings and FX,  
Supermassive providing just a whiff of ambience on the drum bus, 
and ReaControlMIDI  performing per note fine tuning of all tonal instruments. 
That's a bit of an experiment.  I may have gotten it all wrong :D 
 Please feel free to share any thoughts on the subject. 

Additional pushing & pulling on the master bus by:
Kclip Zero, Limiter No6, Flux Bittersweet, TDR Nova and A1 Stereo Control. 
U-he Protoverb is providing a second whiff of ambiance.

Redshift [OSC #208 - OB-Xf]

Mechanought - Adapt

My entry for this month's KVR One Synth Challenge

Tried to keep the sound pretty raw on this one.

168 instances of Ob-Xf

Bitwig 6.0.6 used

Bitwig devices:

Modulators:
* Macro & 4-Macro (mostly on the bass sounds, to automate many parameters at once)
* Segments (used on ducking and maybe to control the volume of some drum layers)
* Curves (used as a mod remapper by having it at 0hz and modulating the phase, this in combo with the macros can make very crazy sounds)

Containers:
* Drum Machine (making percussion sets)
* Instrument Selector (for polyphonic 32 unison instruments, using an instance per key)
* Instrument Layer (For simple layered sounds)
* FX Layer
* XY Instrument (For the main morphing bass, which was a monster 13 instance layer + 8 macros)

FX devices:
* Tool (Volume & Width settings)
* Eq+ (static usage, no modulation on this)
* Over
* Delay+ (mild usage)
* Peak Limiter (on the master)

Others:
* Oscilloscope (to see the wave)
* Mid-Side Split (for Mid-Side Eqing)
* Note Receiver (for ducking trigger routing)
* Spectrum (to watch the things)

External VST effects:
* OTT (I should try to stop using this thing)

=======================

Listening back to my entry for OSC61 I can see how much I have improved, some things feel different after 12+ years, but others seem to be the same.
This feels like coming full circle, and it's like I've been chasing a certain sound all this time, a sound that has been elusive but I'm getting closer, maybe it's only reachable with samples and outside of the boundaries of a single synth ...

Return (OSC 208 JS80P)

This is my entry for OSC 209! I got a cool vocally sound using the synthesizer, you can check it out in the project file!

Lyrics:
All my life I've been living with nothing
Maybe somebody can help me get away
What am I doing here I have to find out
What is going on in my head right now

No inspirations for this one other than the deadline... I wish I had more time to work on it, especially getting the vocal to sound more legible. Been extremely busy lately AND burnt out. Consonants are difficult to do turns out also.
