One Synth Challenge #96: Nabla by Full Bucket (Voting Over)

[zarf]

Gah trying to post my track ... and Soundcloud down.

If I miss the deadline (due to silly things like having to sleep while AWS fixes itself) - any chance of a little extension?

[Auplant]

soundcloud doesn't appear to be down for me

Have you tried uploading? It seems ok for just playing stuff here too...

[bjporter]

Apparently there are problems with soundcloud to upload my track, I hope I do not win the time to participate.

Upload it somewhere else and paste the download link, no worries

Soundcloud has been goofy for me all day.
I usually listen to either previously liked tracks, the current track I am working on or the voting playlist while in the car.
My posted track just repeats the same 2 bars over and over somewhere in the middle of the song(digital skipping was something I was not aware could even happen) other liked tracks are hit or miss if they will play at all. Most just show an error. These are likes from both this month and previous months.
I tried listening to the last posted track in the thread when I got home and it shows as missing and my liked list will not load.

Hi all,

Edit - Soundcloud working now, here's the link
https://soundcloud.com/zarf/zarf-mystery-cat

42 Nablas, lots of Ableton EQ, compressors, reverbs, delays, multiband compressors, all Ableton FX this time.
Mostly patches from init, some tweaked presets, and I also edited a version of Photonic's (kindly shared) snare and toms for one of the drum layers. Thanks for sharing presets Photonic!

[Left here for reference from original post]
I can't upload to soundcloud just now. Following BJporter's suggestion, here is a link to the track in my dropbox:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/112 ... %20cat.wav

I'll try to upload this to soundcloud just as soon as it is working and I get the chance.

Hope this is OK?

Good luck all...

I have updated my this month's track submission post with details of the track. However, the track is same. It is not changed. Just details have been added.

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=478584&start=195#p6715525

In above post, I did not mention anything about sound design.

So, Here it is:

• All sounds were made from "init" preset. When I was facing some problems initially, I got kind help from discussions about kick drum sound design using pitch envelope.
  
  I was about to use the same but, later on I could make the Kick drum sound as required by mix and feel of the track. The kick drum sound is with single instance only.
  
  Also, missing feature of velocity sensitivity was overcome by using delay (mainly used for hat sound).
  No MIDI other plugin was used.

I again thank everybody who helped me directly in this forum or indirectly in other discussion platform and for all the encouragement I got during this month.

Regards,
Dee.P.Tree

This is my final entry. I made some editing today.
Tune starts as some kind of folk-jazz, then in second half the style changes.
It's my first OSC track. I liked the simplicity of Nabla compared to other commercial synths. I had good time making this track, I hope it's not so bad

Mostly ReaPlugs but notably Smartelectronix Ambience reverb, Melda MEqualizer, TLs Maximizer, OTT, and Voxengo Overtone GEQ were used with these 9 instances of Nabla.

574X - Oh How She Suffers (Forever Alone) - KVR OSC 96 [Nabla] Public Ver. B.rar

https://soundcloud.com/574x/574x-oh-how ... c-96-nabla

Sadness, despair? This song is about a girl.

After her failed American romance where the man had drawn the line with her humiliating disrespect and relapsing, he parted ways with her to pursue his career. He found, two months later when he returned, that she had suddenly gotten married in her families' traditional, conservative religious way.

It was clear that she was still doomed to continue seeking abuses in all forms from her husband and substances. The story had to be played out, long and painfully.

Almost instantly, a baby boy was conceived. Finally, motherhood was enough to save her from destroying her and her unborn child’s body and mind with chemicals. –But disrespect and manipulation has a dear price.

The relationship she had created with these behaviors was of the worst kind. Her husband had only pretended to be strictly religious, studying the ancient texts with her father to win his stunning daughter. It was an astoundingly evil, sociopathic feat. He was abusive, unfaithful, and had no interest in fatherhood, and the marriage did not last long.

Four years later, she knocks on the window of the man who left her to try to find himself a good life. She is lonely, withered, ruined from childbirth having ravaged her body, skeletal from eating disorders, and a lifetime of abuses of all kinds. Her three year old boy is a blessing saving her from most of her trouble-seeking, yet a curse consuming her life.

Unless she practices enjoying life, being positive and respectful to miraculously attract an incredibly strong male role model soon, her boy will grow up fatherless and have the manipulative tendencies of his parents. Sadly, her little boy is predisposed to be despised, feared, and have some of the worst addictive tendencies possible. Will she save him from his fate?

And as for her? When will she learn from these painful lessons? Until she does, one can only look on at how she suffers.
Oh how she suffers.
Forever alone.
