Great arranging, clean and effective.  Made me forget I was voting in a competition.

You've made one of the best melodies this round - and superb production.  I think you could well win this one.

I really like the additive arrangement - letting it build works well.

The lead sound feels out of keeping - like you're making fun of your own song -- or else just very tongue in cheek???

This track is a lot of fun, I like the melody and sounds :)

You obviously put a lot of love, work and thought into your music. It sounds wonderful! Thank you! :) (I think the lead sounds fine btw! Lol!)

Yes, this is the song.  For some reason Cherry Audio calls it “Prayer Master” on the MG-1 Plus demo page.

LONE CRUISER - WXCVBN99 SURREALISTIC MG-1 CHALLENGE

For KVR's Once Synth Challenge. KVR OSC 158. All sounds made with Cherry Audio's fantastic free plugin: Surrealistic MG-1 Plus.

The original Radioshack MG-1 happens to be the first synthesizer I ever owned, and it's what I first learned synthesis with. I sold it a couple of years ago, which I now somewhat regret. However, the plugin is amazing and it exceeds the original in many ways!

If you like it and wish to hear a version mixed without the restrictions of the contest, you can check out the non-compliant version here on my soundcloud page as well.

Various_Waves - My First Synthesizer

KVR Audio One Synth Challenge:  All tracks have to be done with the same synth, as directed.  This month (April 2022):  The Surrealistic MG-1 Plus.

This challenge hits close to home, because my first synth was the Radio Shack MG-1, which I bought with telemarketing money I earned from Kreepy Krauly in 1983 (pictured in synth photo).  Back then, for me, it was always a one-synth challenge every day, because it was all I had!  I created multi-tracks by recording onto cassette, overdubbing to reel-to-reel, and reversing the process.  

Track created in Apple Logic Pro, using 36 instances of the Surrealistic MG-1 Plus plug-in.  Only effects (all native) were EQ on a few tracks, along with some touches of distortion and parallel compression.

This has inspired me to release an album of tracks I made with just the MG-1 Plus, along with some old cassette copies of tracks I made with my MG-1, back in the early 80's.  

Thanks for listening!

Sauna
Recorded inside a wood-fired sauna in Nalovardo, after a wonderful day on the mountain top — a calm autumn day when the raw evening air whispered of the cold soon to come.
Each splash of water on the stones turned into steam and rhythm, echoing the contrast between warmth and frost.
A sonic ritual where nature, body, and sound melt together — pure Phuse energy, organic and alive.
