One Synth Challenge #98: Any One Synth (Photonic Wins!)

[DFL]

I could not use a commercial synthesizer, since I do not have commercial synthesizers at this time.

But my idea is based on some of these synthesizers, I think that is honor to work with one the here
present
saltline - ADHDIDI
Gyovai László - 4 TO 2
BlauKraut Engineering - Charlatan
Kaigorodov Anthony - EFTA.High
Olivier for Roazhon DSP - BRAINSTORMER
JXPlugins - JXSynth
amvst - Analog Warfare

And there are more that I could list here.

Now I just have to choose one that has the possibility of fighting with commercial synthesizers

I can use synthesizer beta as is the case of BRAINSTORMER in fx and Synthesizers

You could try synth 1 too .
Or DuneBE (its a free cut-down version of Dune 1), or you could also try to buy a issue of computer music magazine, you will get a lot of nice VSTs there

Extra Clarification:
Some synths have samples and synthesis, like Alchemy, so use the non-sampling part, and specify. If you have questions PM me, or ask on this thread).

That means not using the noise "osc" (or samples) in a lot of great synths like Serum or Rapid.

I'm curious about noise samples specifically though, since "noise oscillators" are often samples. For example, Live's Operator has a "noise looped" waveform which I think is a sample, but it also has another noise option that may not be, *shrug.

What about Reaktor? (assuming no samples)

Should be fine. Which instrument in particular?

Serum is fine. Rapid seems fine if you use the morphable waveshaping feature (and not the multi-sampling, which crosses more into sampler zone I think).

Well, that completely disqualified Omnisphere.

[574X]

Well, that completely disqualified Omnisphere.

- And Nexus, and most of HG Fortune's synths which rely on PCM/Soundfonts.

I'm predicting a tidal wave of submissions this month. Using a modern, commercial synth feels a lot like making a track with a sample pack, anyway.

Part of what I love about the past OSCs is that the synth is decided for me. They are simple, free synths that make amazing music. - now that's inspirational.

ooooooohhhh snap

[e@rs]

I'm gonna use one of the four U-He synths I own. Now the tricky part: which one?
I will probably use half the time of this month figuring out the one to use...

[nickamandote]

I assume the quality of the entries will be huge since no restriction given this time, if I will participate I will probably choose the free Synth1.

[rghvdberg]

To be honest, I don't care for the prize or winning! I just want a good 'motive' or 'excuse' to do just this! One synth only track.

That's the spirit!

Is Air Hybrid allowed? It has preset wavetables as part of it, not sure if that counts as sampling

Sure it is allowed! Wavetables are not samples. I mean they are not usable as samples if you load them to a sampler!
Anyway, let's wait for what bjporter says about it.
