ok it's fun to have such stuttering groove, but I expected a drastic change at some point: to chaos or to another groove.

In strong contradistinction to some other voices raised this past month, I appreciate when someone has a moment in their composition at which the sound design isn't too recognizably from the synth of the month. I think it shows a certain virtuousity in sound design, and some of the percs, especially, don't immediately sound like Pendulate. Good work.

I like the melodic contrast at work here, it gives plenty for me to enjoy without feeling overwhelmed

My Entry: "Centuries". Made of OSC 189

Style: Electronic Soundtrack Circa. With Pop, Classical and Drone
elements.

~8 instances of MYTH VST3 in EXT64 beta (see screenshot at KVR thread).
~1 custom sample imported in MYTH for 2 drums sounds.
~free VST effects:  RSS EQ302, EfektorGQ36, LoudMax64.

What about this MYTH synth? Surely it sounds good, but of the many
'mangling' resynthesis features some I found too grainy or useless, sounding to me
like many alternative types of harmonic distortions. Therefore too
expensive as CPU load for the actual results, those could be replaced
with focused external plug-in effects, in studio use.
What I liked most of MYTH is the easy adding of envelopes and
synced LFOs to modulate the parameters, very good.

Acidic Myths

submission for the KVR One Synth Challenge #189: Myth

Here the storyline/thoughts behind this track: Compared to the universe we are just small grains of sand in a desert and that's why we shouldn't worry so much. The soft lead bell sound stands for us little humans with all our worries. The first big epic chorus stands for the universe which makes our worries seem completely irrelevant compared to it. The second chorus contains traces of the bell sound which symbolizes the unity of the small mankind and the giant universe (meaning we should find a balance/harmony between too much and too little worries).

Three Movements Of A Complex Pendulum

Leo Amaral - Three Movements Of A Complex Pendulum

"Watch... as a young ambitious camel, dreaming of getting both very rich AND entering the Kingdom of Heaven, sets off on an epic journey in search of the Big Giant Needle. A tale of dusty plains, dazzling cities and, of course, genies and bottles. Will The Eye remain shut...or open to reveal it's wonders ?"
