Written for KVR One Synth Challenge #179 Any One Synth - all sounds created in u-He Hive2

Time to Waltz with the Final Boss - OSC 179 u-He Hive2


This is AuroraFM. 32 instances using Reaper 6.83
6 Transient Shaper (kiloheartz)
24 Raum
4 ProQ3 (Fabfilter)
3 A1Trigger Gate
1 Replika

Wow, almost no EQ. 

I discovered AuroraFM this month, thanks to Elvicente. I love it. Really underrated synth. FYI I made 9 tracks just with it this month. in those 9 tracks some sounds are dx7 patches I found online, some factory, some Elivicente, some tweaked, some mine. Maybe some dexed patches but I doubt it... I don't recall exactly for each track. This track was entered based on the discord consensus from 5 I posted there. 

Critical feedback very much appreciated.

The Assignment: Count your tools in advance of employing them.

The assignment prompted some — almost philosophical — questions about what I would consider a tool, or a piece of equipment, in my music making practice. 
I often work with complex effect chains in software, using different devices and plugins as building blocks for devices that I work and interact with — by means of custom-coded control mechanisms — as if they were a single, coherent thing. So would I consider such a device chain as a single piece of equipment? Or multiple pieces? Who decides what makes a thing a thing? The manufacturer? The user?
Trying not to get stuck (again) in overthinking, I opted — rather arbitrarily — for the manufacturer point of view: if it’s packaged as a thing, then let’s say its a thing.

For the piece, I was thinking I’d like to try and make something using a duduk I’d recently bought. The range of the duduk is somewhat limited (octave + 2 notes), so I thought I’d extend that range by using a granular delay effect that also does pitch shifting. 
So the piece would consist of two main pieces of equipment: duduk and granular delay. 
However, taking into account recording equipment, the DAW and some “utility” effects, I figured I’d definitely need a bunch more to actually make the piece. So I set 10 as a limit: this seemed doable, while still presenting something of a challenge. Which it did. I had to forego EQ (though using some filters inside other devices) and a dedicated limiter (re-using a compressor). Interesting… 

So here’s the list of 10:
Duduk, microphone, audio interface, headphones, DAW, granular delay, compressor, reverb, pitch shifting/stretching algorithm baked into the DAW, tuning device (duduk is quite hard to play in tune, especially for a novice like myself; having visual feedback of the frequency I was blowing was much needed).

Ten for Two (disquiet0630)

number of items:
- two modules (marbles and beads) 
- or five modules (if you count mults)
- or sixteen patch cables
- or ...

usually the built in wavetable mode for beads annoys me by switching on unexpectedly, but here it's the main voice.

disquiet0630 - two (or five, or sixteen, or)

Inspired by multiple Pendulums with different lengths like in this Video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4ICFmAr_DQ
Its a single Grid patch triggering 2* 24 Oscillators tuned in the overtone row. One set plays the first 24 overtones, the other set plays the first 24 prime number overtones. Each oscillator in a set has a different speed. I modulate the waveforms and the attack and decay times of the oscillators, which creates the changing sounds...

Disquiet Junto Project 0631, "In a Silent Waveform". The assignment: take one held tone and make it dance slowly.

This was a chance to revisit something I'd done a few years back, rhythmically sequencing the drawbars of a Hammond B-3. This piece has a single chord held throughout, with the only variation in sound coming from the drawbars (and at the end, the Leslie speed).
