Enjoy! And thanks to Irion for the suggestion. VK-1 Viking Synthesizer is an authentic emulation of a classic monophonic analog synthesizer. It has three continuously variable wave oscillators, two ladder filters with a Dual Lowpass or Highpass/Lowpass configuration, a multi-wave LFO, and two modulation busses. VK-1 uses state of the art DSP technology to accurately reproduce the sound of the hardware.

Want to try out your skills in other contests / competitions /challenges?
  • DiHalt Demoscene competitions
  • Indaba - Has a mix of popular and indie artists with various contests like remixing and song writing. Some people from OSC have had success here.
  • KVR Mix Challenge (see stickies) - Who can mix a song the best (Without adding extra recordings /musical additions)? Each person starts out with the same stems.
  • Music Cafe (KVR, see stickies) - A thematic monthly competition. Use recording, real instruments, synths and samples.
  • RemixComps - An aggregator for remix contests from a variety of artists and genres (mostly EDM) - indie and popular.
  • Skio Music Contests - Lots of remixes you can join (Mostly EDM) - big prizes.
  • Soundevotion (SDCOMPO) Competition - Even longer running than the OSC, the SDCOMPO is even more niche in that you must use a tracker, and set of specific effects. Great community.

FYI the classic monophonic synth that it emulates is a Moog Voyager, Rack Mount edition. Great choice! Hopefully I have time this month to participate.

Great choice --- looks like a lot of fun. Any chance that you might allow commercial plugin effects this month? When you allowed that a while ago it made for a fun OSC and I don't think there was an advantage in terms of overall score for people who used their purchased plugins for compression, reverb and EQ -- it makes workflow easier though. Thanks!

Looks promising, but the vst is not recognized by any host on my Mac Pro 10.12.6...
I tried Logic, Mainstage, Bitwig, Digital Performer and Ardour. The install shell command looks wierd. Seems Windows only, the claim for mac is not backed by any test... Too bad, will miss it...

Post

Correction, in Max/MSP I can load it...
My prefered host anyway...
Would lead to an algorithmic track, maybe a good idea...

I loved this synth first time i heard it. Super excited!

Is anyone experiencing hung notes?

Post

So far hung notes and it doesnt play all the notes in a midi pattern (in legato mode, it plays ok starting second loop)

I use Win7 64bits live 10

Post

No hung notes for me, Reaper 5.7 win10 64.

I have hung notes in Live 9 on a Mac.

In Cubase 9.5 I have had some
  • Hung Notes
  • Notes not played at all
More symptoms:
If I cycle thru a midi part with only three notes in it the first gets played the other two not. Most of the time not even the first gets played. Only after a midi reset a new note will be played. Probably Midi Note Off is not received and processed correctly.
The hearable release time of the patch I have selected ("Bass - Dirty Bass") is quite long when I can make it to play a note, though I have reduced it in both envelopes to zero.
I have tried to fiddle with the Gate and KB Mode, but no setting was able to produce reliable output.

P.S.: Has anyone already read thru the "heritage" page on the blamsoft site...hilarious ;-)

The heritage section was really funny.

I'll sit this one out as I'm still on Windows 32bit XP-aladotious. But I can't wait to hear all of the great entries made with the VK-1

Sorry for the issues. We will get them fixed as soon as we can.
