OSC13 - Synth1 - Totolitoto Wins!

[Yeager]

I just quickly skimmed thru the tracks - voting is gonna kill me

Yeager and Kaiyoti, did you use any preset sounds and, if so, which ones?

@mac :

I used/tweaked Kaiyoti's bank 01 as a starting point for the drums at the end of the track, all the other sounds are from the not yet released Kaiyote bank 78. a.k.a. my own !

EDIT: I lied! the choir is a tweaked patch from Nolwenn

Corks! So many tracks!

On the voting, I'm not too fussed but I would please ask folks to keep it pretty simple - whatever we end up with.

Remember that we get voters from outside of the entrants and would like to encourage their involvement further. I bet some of this OSC's entrants are ex-lurkers as it is Welcome one and all.

Anyhow, off to the download. Mac, it better not be too long grrr....

Best of luck,
Mouxbar

Fractions? transcendental numbers??? Orbikian algebra??? ... I'll come back when the coast is clear!!

[Totolitoto]

So many excellent tracks
Congrats guys

Mac, it better not be too long grrr....

Mine is only 20 minutes... (sorry sorry...)

[tattiemannie]

Well, I should get a listen to at least half of the tracks tonight ... and really looking forward to that! .... just gotta get through some other crap and free up a distraction free zone for a while!

[EvilDragon]

Amazing tracks, but no time to vote, final thesis needs to be worked upon!

(Thesis is about subtractive and additive synthesis in Reaktor 5 )

Sorry for the OT: I'm not sure if I'll manage to take part in the next few OSC's (due yo my darn dayjob(s)), plus I have enough material to compile the album anyway, so I'm about to put together my "A Different Sky - OSC vol 1" album, which will feature all the tracks I entered in the 5 OSC's I've partecipated in.
Problem is, I didn't take notes and my memory sucks: could anybody please confirm that:
osc 7 was Felix
osc 8 was sputnik
osc 9 was gargoyle
osc 11 was flex'n'stein ?

Only if you don't have to go thru the forum to find the info, of course!

Thanks

Hi Mac,

According to my files, you have those OSC synths correct.

Aren't those day jobs a pain?

Quality of the tracks I've heard so far are out of this world...just shockingly good and way above any of the other osc's imo. This is gonna be impossible to judge.

Too true, had my first run through yesterday and it still left 18 tracks.

And I was even cruel enough to throw out a few because I didn't like the tune

Nasty to do, but I've got to start sifting this lot somehow.

Some real corkers here

Best of luck,
Mouxbar

As I'm oficially 'Looser of OSC12' I have a right to choose synth for OSC15. I was thinking about various ideas:

- xoxos' weirdness i.e. Synger, Fauna, Oscine Tract, Friction in which traditionally synthesized sounds are very difficult to create

- xoxos' or Krakli's simulations of real instruments (jump off from our typical multi purpose synths) like xoxos' http://www.xoxos.net/ Aerophone, Boing, Phybes, Piamo, Pling (flexible ones, but some of them can be cpu heavy while polyphonic playing) or Krakli's http://krakli.com/krakli-free-synths/ StringZ2 (I love sound of that one) or Morphiza.

- The best idea so far is I think themed OSC 'Circuit bender OSC' or 'C64 OSC' The main synth would be either de la Mancha basic http://www.kvraudio.com/get/2946.html or Odo Synths Unknown 64 Pro http://www.kvraudio.com/get/2712.html The first one sounds more modern mainly because of 3 oscilators each having more waveforms, more flexible routing and filtering. The second one in other hand sounds more classic, has programable arpeggiator, and has a perfect bitcrusher section introducing beautifull aliasing (Yay for aliasing )
Permitted effects would be no delay, no reverb, no chorus (who had these ones at that time?), dynamics: waveshaper, compresor, limiter, expander (extra points for saturation/tape simulation effect ), time stretch/pitch shift just simple ones without formant treating (tape recorders had often fancy 'speed' dial) and maybe some bitcrusher/FSU (especially one of these with 'circuit bend' in name or in manual).


What do you think about it guys? Tattie, would that rule change in 3rd idea not be a problem?


BTW... It'll take me a while to listen all of the tracks, but at least I've already started

[Nahkranoth]

Great choice dwsel!
I vote for Unknown64. Simple as soup but I've already fiddled with it and made my version of "Blood Brothers" tune, so I'd like to make more of C64 stuff. I'm glad that you're the official outsider in a good way

[EDIT]
As an afterthought: I'd vote for the absence of effects except tape thing and limiter. What do you think?

[Xenobioz]

All those suggestions sound great dwsel. Physical modeling should be very interesting indeed because of the different types of sound you can create, like you said. And any SID(C64) synth would be nice too. If could choose I would prefer any physical modeling synth though.

Thank you for confirming, Batgab! And yes, it'd be so great if a musician could live only on his music

Tattiemannie: I'll add some notes about the osc's in the liner notes, and of course I'll have to mention you - shall I use your nickname or your real name (the one on F'N'S's gui, I suppose)?
