This month's One Synth Challenge entry uses InfernalSynth by sjoerdvankreel. I had planned to try to create a synthwave track but that was seriously derailed.

Listening guide: one glass of prosecco

Created using Bitwig Studio and 12 instances of InfernalSynth. The following plugins were also used:

Bitwig Compressor
Bitwig Humanize
Bitwig Arpeggiator
Bitwig Mid Side Split
Bitwig EQ-5
kHs Stereo
TBProAudio dpMeter5
Blue Cat Gain3
Kazrog KClip Zero
Valhalla Supermassive
Chords as MIDI from Scaler 2 pasted into tracks.

Spring Goose - Spinny Winny

Composed for KVR One Synth Challenge 201 using only sounds from Kontrast by Dawesome.

Mid-1990s, somewhere in rural West Germany. A teenager wanders aimlessly through the foggy streets of the small village. The lanterns glow dim and orange through the mist. A dreary, cold November day in the loneliest place in the world. The boy inhales. Cold air fills his lungs and wraps around his soul. The boy exhales. Warm breath evaporates in a cloud before his eyes. He has to get out of here.

All sounds created from scratch. Wavetables used are Init and some factory ones.

I played a lot with imported images samples and wavetables but none of these ended up in the final submission.
Good to be back with an entry after a long hiatus, even if it's only half an idea :)
