It's like a rock opera condensed into a song!

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!)

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!

Slow Rush

This is a new reggae fusion style beat I just made, its more fusion and ambient rather than stereotypical reggae but I call it that because of the guitar skank that is used throughout, I layer sounds including subs, west coast style keys and develop it into pads and synths. This has a nice overall feel and hopefully you enjoy this beat.
