Description: This is my entry for edition 163 of the KVR One Synth Challenge. On this occasion, all of it was created inside once instance of the Cardinal modular synth plugin.

A nice set of sounds. A bit too much in the centre so the sounds do get confused.

Some more dynamics would certainly help - ie some rise and fall of various elements within the mix. I you click around the track you do not hear any difference in volume ...

re: dynamics, if this little motif was pushed up in volume when it first come in it would have moreimpact, coz it's nice!

In my opinion - this song needs more variation.  It's one set of chords on loop.  The are no breaks.  And it lacks a clear melody.  But that's just my opinion.  If you like it this way - then cool.

Hey, I absolutely liked your tracks from previous rounds (most of which I didn't participate) and was surprised you didn't score higher. Unfortunately this is your weakest track so far - though it is quite impressive when it's done with only one instance!? I think what you should improve most is the overall dynamics/loudness of your tracks. I'm also not an expert on that, but a limiter on the master bus might help!

All with just one instance. Impressive. Dynamically it could be a bit more appealing.

The running melody is great! The drums could use some work.

impressive work for a single instance. really nice sounds and I like how you have managed to overload the kick so that it side chains everything else.

ARACHNIDS

My entry for KVR OSC #163

The fizz of the drink is so loud it makes Nesbit's teeth hurt. He takes another sip. It's delicious. The kefir is sour and delicious at the same time, like a cross between wine and yogurt. 
He tries to remember what it tastes like when he stops drinking it. Kefir tastes like kefir.
It is at this moment that he remembers.
He remembers everything.
He remembers that when he first arrived at the space port, he went to find a bar called the Happy Alien.
He remembers that the proprietor of the bar was a large creature that looked like a giant, orange caterpillar, and that the caterpillar had a human-shaped head.
He remembers that the caterpillar told him he would be happy here, and that his life would be good here, and that he should stay.
He remembers that the kefir tastes like wine and yogurt.
He remembers that the Happy Alien is a lie, and that the entire space port is a giant lie.
Everything he thinks he knows is wrong, and everything he thought he was doing in life was all wrong.
His eyes are blurry and his mouth is dry. He wonders if he should go to the washroom.
