One-Synth-Challenge Special: Computer Music - Submissions, Voting and Results ($5000 prize pool!)

12 instances of ZebraCM

DAW: PreSonus Studio One

FX:
10 x ProEQ (Studio One) ... to cut low freqs and clean low mids
2 x BinauralPan (Studio One) ... to make the arp sounds wider
1 x Room Reverb (Studio One) ... to move the percussion sound into the background
2 x Compressor (Studio One) ... to glue the tracks together
1 x Limiter (Studio One) ... to prevent clipping

All other effects like Delay, Reverb, Chorus, Pan Modulation, Filter Modulation are from ZebraCM's internal Modulation- and FX-section.


The track was made on an old laptop (2x2GHz) with its builtin soundcard. 12 instances of Zebra were no problem on this weak computer - Zebra is a great piece of software. I only had to bounce the percussion track, since the Studio One reverb plugin on this track consumed a lot of CPU.
The project has a lot of volume automation and some synth parameter automations. The music is based on a simple Am - F arpeggio that is played by 4 different sounds which are changed in volume, velocity, length, octave, etc. every few bars.

I hope anybody likes it

Just got time to clean up my project file (cubase 5/6/7 compatible I think) - for anyone interested in seeing how it works.

Planning on making an Ableton and Reaper version if time permits, so perhaps more people can check it out.

If anyone can volunteer to convert it to FL Studio, or any other daw, let me know

Thanks bjporter

FYI there is still a submission announcement forum post missing from this thread, hopefully it will come shortly.

[shortmanb]

I do not understand how we vote? Do we mark the points for the song on the soundcloud comments page? Or what? ? It's my first time.

[V'ger]

Click the link above that says Voting Form. In the page that comes up, click in your votes in the points selector for each song. When you are finished, come back here and write a post with the word 'voted'.

OMG, this is a tough one! 75 votes to give, and all these songs are so awesome...
Right now I only know about one vote for sure (guess what...).

Cheers Björn
