Full Bucket's FB-3X00 and Modulair can also be retuned in various ways- something useful recreating scales or inventing in all sorts of music.

Also, I'm about to dive into Karplus-Strong as much as AnaMark will let me. I've got a long way to go for the sound design I want, and that method unlocks so many neat timbres.

Here's my entry for the OSC 10 Year Anniversary! After initializing 5 or 6 projects with various commercial synths, Krakli Plugs' free YAVA4 was ultimately the one to inspire my muse. So thanks to Ian Webster for a fun synth that sounds brilliant!

[Update Mar 15: Spoke with Ian on Krakli's Facebook page, and I realized that this is actually a beta version at the moment. Good to know!]

I can warmly recommend it for bird song, orchestral textures, electric guitars and synthwave. Probably for everything else you throw at it, too! :)

Hey Terje, that is one very nice sound! The bass and kick are superb! Right between the eyes! Great soundstage too. I've settled on Synth1 - coming on OK.

Thanks so much, Rob! I finally bought a sub last month, and it really is paradise to know at any given time exactly where my low end is at! I've been making qualified guesses before I got it, but honestly, it was more or less a shot in the dark. And the total overview of the mix improves as well. Best purchase I've made in a long time. Very happy that you, too, can hear what I thought I was hearing!

Synth1 is an excellent choice - and with your earlier WiP, I noticed. :)

Looking forward to hearing the result!

Thinking of trying this one with Diva.

Can you use presets that come with the synth? - I understand I cannot use 3rd party commercial preset packs.

Yes, you can use any factory presets, no problem! Although, it would be very satisfying and a great learning experience if you try and analyse and/or synthesize those presets yourself. You'd learn sound design in the process and also have a lot of fun learning the synth better.

Good luck!

After a long period of inactivity, I finally found some time to create another KVR OSC entry. :)
https://soundcloud.com/full-bucket/dark-drums
Done solely with the Stigma synthesizer plugin. Except for the drums sounds *cough, cough* I tried not to tweak the internal sound engine via Stigma's built-in Sound Manager.
  • Stigma: 19 instances
  • LoudMax: 2 instances
  • Some (non-modulating!) Reaper effects
  • Recorded with Reaper 64
Cheers, Björn

Cool, thank you! Yeah, just picked up Diva with the recent sale, and looking to dive into it more. I'm more of a preset tweaker, but just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to break any rules if anything sounds close to the presets. But, yes! I will try to learn more in the process - this is a cool contest!

Hi! This is my very first post here in KVR xD. I've created an account just for participating in this challenge. Actually I always come to KVR but I'd never registered

I'm going to try Synth1 or Sytrus but I still dont't know which to choose. Sytrus is cool and powerful but is too complex. Synth1 is easy to program but it's very overused

Post

Finally got a classical guitar tone I can work with out of Serum...took giving up and coming back after a few days but happened surprisingly quick at that point. How that happens always baffles me.

Just a touch of EQ and a tickle of compression

Welcome to OSC, @DawCrash!
There's nothing wrong with an overused synth, Synth1 is everywhere for a reason. It rocks.

If you feel like working with something complex, and even if you don't, you may be interested in joining our Slack channel (linked on the first post of this topic); there's a variety of folks and we can be almost helpful at times.

An international #Crap #Electro #Hit made with the finest gems of meticulously selected sound grapes of the finest vine yards of international jet set destinations.

🆓 The track is certified quality - 100% free of sense and meaning 🆓

Track is not compliant to the OSC rulez :-(

Haha, Peter! I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but you are one strange dude! Gotta love and respect that!! Great track, too. Your signature sounds that I love start around 2:52. I think you need to hook up with a vocalist.

First version of my track on the Analog Four, with no additional effects, mixing or mastering. Not a huge fan of my own work in this case but it's a good learning experience :) This version was done by starting the recorder and turning tracks on and off live. Drums are based on presets, other sounds from scratch.
