One Synth Challenge #93: OBXD by DiscoDSP & 2DaT (mmGhost Wins!)

[TheNeverScene]

Yes, my first time doing so. Long time lurker of KVR and always thought OSC was some secret-handshake oscillator thing.

the secret handshake is only taught to persons who finished in the top 5

Which is why I still don't know it and never will.

Well, a not-so-secret high five to everyone! The whole concept is great and I'm glad I finally figured out what OSC means (here). Haha.

Just read the voting rules! So much for this month! Lol. Good luck to ALL!

I thought you said you entered the contest this month, as in submitted a track. If you did, you can vote.

So the 40 posts stipulation is for those who didn't enter? After rereading, it appears so. I was a little bummed, so thanks for the good news.

FWIW, I too struggled with the kick...to the point that every time I rendered, the kick sounded different. After stripping out all of the envelope/voice shenanigans, it was finally almost stable

[_A_O_]

61 instances OBXD

Only 61? ...slacker!

That's how many were listed as not being bypassed in Reaper project bay. It's possible that a couple slipped by with only muting stopping them from doing any thing.

I made a lot of patches! I only used one patch from the FXP bank other than init, just because there was no time to make another that struck me the same way.

I read what you said about the gray area of FX here. Even EQ can push it past what the synth by itself is capable of. I've seen Poulin amps in here. I wouldn't mind if they tightened the rules, but as long as they don't... "You can use a little" is not enforceable.

It's probably time for me to clarify this rule further. Thanks for letting us know about the confusion

hm I have no idea what my previous password was and the reset password isn't sending me any mail

The only thing I'm sad about in this competition is that no-one complimented the Flute I made. I spent like 10 hours just making that by itself.

awh, no hurry, there must be quite a few people who haven't even heard it yet, hehe. I for example haven't had the time to properly concentrate on listening to most of the entries yet (that's why I'm currently taking a break from OSC, as far as entering a tune goes, too). Going to listen soon.

[bjporter]

Should be sorted out, check my PM.

Voted!

Voted.

Well, interesting month that's going to prove a lot of things, at least to me.

Gave out no 1s this months. Lots of 4s but only four 5s.

Here they are.

Games We Play (OSC93 OBDX) (Didn't realize was Jasinski until I just went to SC page)
Orboscope - Sapphire Shade
New World (5 points just for the music)
TheNeverScene - Surface Tension

The 5th slot for top 5 is up for grabs. Could be any of the 4s.

One track this month really surprised me. I expected much better. Don't know what happened. Very curious to see where this person finishes. It will tell me a lot about the voting.

As for my own entry. Based on the amount of time spent on it, the dramatic improvement over past entries, I expect to finish in the mid 20s. With 45 tracks submitted, should I have yet another finish near the bottom, it will finally confirm that people here either hate me, my music or both and I can finally walk away from this competition with my head held high knowing it wouldn't matter what I submitted.

And now that I have said my peace, either way, I can finally retire from this totally unpleasant experience and not look back. I'd love to say these OSCs have been fun. They haven't. Not even close. My ego takes enough of a battering in everyday life. I don't need this place to batter it anymore than it already is.

Good luck to all the contestants.

Hopefully, those who deserve to win this will win this.
