Silver Threads

Silver Threads - OSC - Apricot

A submission for the KVR One Synth Challenge #171.

The synth this month is Apricot by Nakst, a very capable 2 osc VA.  Great sound, and super light on the CPU, also loads like a demon.

13 instances in Reaper, some light processing from ReaEQ, ReaComp, and ReaLimit, plus Nova on the master.

OSC171 - Apricot

Kernel Panic

This is my entry for the 171st running of the KVR One Synth Challenge made using the Aprictol synth indie of the Ildaeil wrapper plugin in Ableton Live. The track is in a chilled EDM style.

Fifteen Apricots

Made for OSC 171, using 24 instances of the synth Apricot by nakst for all sounds.

Tuning is cons_5.scl from the scala archive, plus some octaves. It's a 5 limit JI scale that repeats at 9/5.

Leonard Bowman - Ice Outline

Written and created by me with a single instance of the free Apricot synth by nakst, for the monthly KVR One Synth Contest. This synth produces an amazingly rich sound!
As this synth cannot use automation with Cubase, I could only use one preset, using only a few mod wheel inputs plus reverb and EQ to change the sound.

Amaretto

Spridgeon - Amaretto (single instance)

In Apricot skies, where dragons dare to roam, Their graceful dance
upon the heavens' dome. Their wings, like fiery tapestries unfurled,
Illuminate the night, a mystic world.

With scales aglow, in hues of amber bright, They soar aloft, in
majestic flight. Their sinewy bodies, fluid as a stream, Gliding
through clouds as if within a dream.

Their serpentine forms, a sight to behold, As they entwine, their
tales of legends old. Their fiery breath, like stars that fiercely
burn, Enchanting all who witness their return.

With every twist and turn, they paint the air, With vibrant strokes of
magic and despair. Their symphony of echoes, raw and wild, Transcends
the mortal realm, the meek and mild.

Oh, witness now their wondrous ballet's grace, As dragons dance, a
celestial embrace. Apricot skies ablaze, their stage divine, A
masterpiece, crafted by the hands of time.

So let us marvel at this rare delight, The dragon's dance, a
breathtaking sight. In Apricot skies, they eternally roam, Guiding our
dreams to realms yet unknown.

Dragon's Dance in Apricot Skies

Between the middle of nowhere,
and the edge of nothing,
the Gnomes of Garden still dream.
Of worlds between root and leaves,
between focus and distraction,
between you and me.

Intermediate Realities

My entry for the KVR forum's One Synth Challenge #171

This time all the sounds are made using Apricot by nakst. BTW it's a CLAP plugin! And to be able to use it I had to try Bitwig Studio for the first time. If you are nerdy enough, here's the technical details about this track:
