classic violator soundscape! love the sheppard tones.

Intriguing tense stuff this, very interesting. And done with very well designed sounds. love your padscaping.  Also, the more open sound, makes it much easier to listen to than your tracks usually are. Which is a good thing, imo.

... as you noted in the description, "ambient" is an interesting way to describe this piece! but it's pretty interesting for the duration. i must say I kept waiting for things to happen after the risers

this is a much calmer VAlba than previous rounds, and better for it IMO - nice spacious soundscape with interesting sound design, i really like the off kilter beat thing that's appears here and there.  Which definition of 'clout' are we using?

nice sound design but lacks something for me.

It's a cool soundscape.  But I prefer your more poppy numbers.  This is very unsettling.  Would be a good backdrop to a creepy robot game.

A very nice soundscape, but I really was expecting it to develop more.

One Synth Challenge #182: Charlatan 3 by BlauKraut Engineering / karrikuh

Wanted to wrap my head around Charlatan3 (http://blaukraut.info/) and took the KVR One Synth Challenge as occasion to do so. Sticking to the Demoscene tradition, this jam's recorded using 10 plugin instances, without further additives.

Edit: Thank you very much for your comments! You can find a little bank of 20 patches for Charlatan3 here: https://files.abraum.de/f/5528efa880f54a33babc/?dl=1

The Charlatan Is Exposed - OSC #182 - Charlatan

As a so-called bedroom producer, I actually thought for a while about whether I should take part in the contest. The songs I've heard so far all sound very good. And the doubts grew after a few sound problems. I gave it a try anyway. Please feel free to contact me about what I can do better! 

DAW: FL Studio
Plugins: Some FL Studio EQs, Limiter (FL), Maximus (FL),  LoudMax, MSED, TDR Nova, TDR Kotelnikov, Valhalla Supermassiv, Youlean Loudness Meter

OSC182 - Charlatan 3

Quacksalver

This month's effort is using Charlatan 3 by BlauKraut Engineering with Bitwig 5.1.8. All patches created from init. No clouts were cast during the production of this track (as May isn't out yet...)

Genre says 'ambient' as that was my intent before I started but as usual the month's synth lead me down a different path.

14 instances of Charlatan with the following additional plugins:

-the usual clip to zero collection of dpMeter5, Blue Cat's Gain 3 and KClip Zero
- kHs Stereo
- kHs Trance Gate
- NI Raum
- TDR Nova
- TDR Kotelnikov
- Youlean Loudness Meter

The following Bitwig Plugins were also used:

- EQ2
- EQ 5
- Note Repeats
- Auto Pan (Tool)

Chord sequences generated in Scaler 2 before copy/pasting the MIDI.

JuergenK - On Vacation - KVR One Synth Challenge #196: Primer 2

Track I made for KVR's One Synth Challenge (OSC) #196. This is the first OSC challenge I have competed in, and the first track I would say I've "finished". It's crazy dense, and I've never made something like this before, but I hope someone likes it! Dedicated to Berlin and it's amazing EDM culture.
