Rogue Seems interesting, comparing to synth1 if thats the other option. I just listened to those OSC1 tunes and some were pretty amazing!

So Rogue would be more fun since I assume its less known.

Mouxbar, re that big fat zero ... all I can say is there's a first time for everything

Yeah, that's what they said to me on my first day at the Crash Test Dummy Training School.

I just had a quick run with Rogue and can't see any problems. Certainly has the "interesting" ticket sound wise. CPU OK, no stutters on a few instances. Obviously monophonic but that's not stopped us in the past...

All I can say is that those with more fussy DAWS/multicores might want to check it out before it gets the green light.

Other than that, I like it

Cheers,

I like the looks of that Rogue synth too. As for the sound I don't know since I'm at work (doing private posting

) and haven't downloaded yet.
I've used Synth1 plenty of times and like it a lot but I'd rather dig into this one I think. Count me in for a Rogue osc

I (hope I)have time to do it now

There's no conflict with the Synth1 revisited idea, I had suggested that for Feb/March to mark one year of One-Synth-Challenge

I'll be launching the Flex-N-Stein4 contest in the next couple of days, and will time it so there's an extended voting period over xmas and N.year.... so we can take it easy

The Jan comp will start a few days into the new year, and we'll squeeze another one in for Feb, and launch the anniversary comp ( Synth1 if thats OK with everyone ) on Valentines day ( the date the concept was launched by that infamous ex KVR member whos name I forget

)

So if Rogue continues to get the interest it is recieving, then we'll go for it in the new year

Anyway, back on topic .... any more votes?

OK, the deed is done, and here's the verdict!

Acid trip - Great fuzzy sounds. Nice construction, atmospheric tense ...and spacious enough to accomodate filling out with that big build up towards a great ending. The pad rules!

AmbiYense - very evocative, airy sounds and elusive melody give way to a more structured, yet abstract section, this also giving way to a third 'scene' to resolve the 'story'. good range of sounds and a nice little journey.

Bad Bad Acidrack - Ah .. its my old Atari!! .. on Acid! Love the 'backward' sounds in here .... yeah, plenty of powerups, tumbling down platforms, and then a siren as the ambulence arrives, and the player characters winged soul float off out of the top of the screen!

Cheese Rack - Nice lead sounds! Good contrast in the breakdown. good collection of strong sounds, particurlarly that low airy pipe sound, but track a little underdeveloped perhaps.

eatacidbefresh - Wow, this is tribal-trip! This track just keeps moving and jumping around, great sounds ... all have their time and space and yet demand attention!

Good Acidrack - This one is a little disturbing .. but in a good way. the juxtaposition between the 'music box' and the harsh growling bass warns that something is gonna kick off , then we all go running and tumbling down a soft grassy hill!

Last Transmission - Great sounds altogether ... powerful production ... has a film score quality. Good composition, keeps moving along smoothly but never predictable. has a melancholic, and yet uplifting complexion.

Slowly Going Nowhere - Great production, great sounds across the board, variety via the sound manipulation holds attention ... sells the synth for sure!

Sync or Swim - Great sounds, the kit is particularly good! good clean production, strong composition, very melodic, good variety of lead sounds, excellent musical dynamics ... In a word, superb!

Winter Pling - This one makes me smile! Nice sounds, Simple and effective melodies, evocative of nursery rhymes, Mary Poppins and fairy tales ... theres even a frog in there! ... A real feelgood track.

......All in all, this collection is simply a fantastic experience. Please, please can we submit a sample set??? ... Everyone who has submitted has at least one preset I would dearly love to get my hands on!

... So now it comes to the hard part! But the first bit is easy.

5 points to Sync or Swim! great piece of work!
With a little dilemma whether I'm voting for the track rather than the use of the synth, I have listened again to ascertain both criteria are satisfied as I give ...

3 points to eatacidbefresh ... love the variety of textures.
... and now it gets really hard.. but ... ( do it!!! )...

1 point to AcidTrip ....because it took me somewhere strange, but took me safely home again!

.... Thanks to all contributors for this great collection of tracks. Stunning stuff!

Now, I would update the chart, but its getting late, and if I have another gin, I'll listen again and change my mind/votes completely

... so, if you dont mind ....

2 days, 11 hours and about 40 minutes to go!

tattiemannie · Post by **tattiemannie** » Sat Dec 05, 2009 8:47 pm

So here's the latest ....

1(1) Sync or Swim - Yeager ... 5, 3, 5, 5, 3, 3, 5 = 29
2(2=) AcidTrip - Totolitoto ... 5, 3, 1, 1, 5, 3, 5, 1 = 24
3(2=) AcidRocks - tattiemannie ... 1, 1, 3, 3, 5, 5 = 18
4(4) Slowly Going Nowhere - Yeager ... 5, 5, 1 = 11
5=(5) AmbiYense - WrigglerUk ... 5, 1, 1 = 7
5=(8=) eatacidbefresh - jonboyd ... 3, 1, 3 = 7
7(6) Winter pling - dwsel ... 1, 1, 3 = 5
8(7) Bad-Bad-Acidrack - mrblitz000 ... 3, 1 = 4
9(8=) Last Transmission from the Astrayed Star - Xenobioz ... 3
10=(10=) Cheese Rack - Mouxbar
10=(10=) Good-Acidrack---mrblitz000

( Total voters: 12, Total points: 108 )

'Sync or Swim' regains a healthy lead, but 'AcidTrip' is hanging in there. 'AcidRocks' challenge looks to have fizzled out, but looks safe for runner up status unless we get a serious voting flurry over the next couple of days ... (hints)
Highest climber is eatacidbefresh, picking up 4 points and moving up 3 places, and could yet be among the prizes!

... C'mon, more votes please, we need a finale! All links on page 1, great tracks to listen to ... whaddya waiting for ??

OSC 10 - Acidrack - Vote Now!
