I voted. I'm glad to see lots of enthusiasm here. I wish some of my greatest osc inspirations had been able to succeed in this challenge by entering, but thankfully many did. Most valuably, people were inspired to make music and the means to make it even greater.

This makes me really happy

I'm glad that people enjoyed my entry, and thanks for all the comments/feedback! There was so much good stuff this round - I don't necessarily feel I deserve to win over the runners up (but that doesn't mean I'm not keeping the prize

).

I'll opt for the Synthmaster bundle (thank you!!), and give permission for the upload thing for rghvdberg.

You most certainly deserved it!

Wooo, Congratulations Rellik!

, you deserved it

.

Congratulations also Jasinski, bh9090 and TheNeverScene, fantastic tracks

.

Thank you all for letting me in such a position, I wasn't really sure if I should have submitted my entry, it still needs some work to be polished, and I don't really consider it finished. Looks like it ended doing better as I thought.

Modulair was a blast, so much possibilities with it, great job Björn

About the basses, the Main Reese was done with 3 layers:
Layer 1 : 4 detuned Oscillators, with a pulse wave (2 of them where a self drawed square wave, which sounds a bit distorted) and then they go trough some Allpass filters and LP / HP (5 filters in total), the routing is a bit complex, is not serial nor parallel (only possible in modulars I guess) .
And there are some envelopes controlling the filters, and a LFO which adds vibrato, and speeds up with the key follow to give the reesy touch.
Layer 2 : A self designed wave gets ring modulated by a pulse wave, and then into a filter routing like layer 1.
Layer 3 : Like layer 2, but no movement. it's more there to get a consistent low-end.

Other basses where made using Comb filters, FM oscillators, and Blender to morph the sound. As we where limited to single cycles, the blender came in handy to morph between different single cycles

, or also between the Carrier and the FMed signal.

And... another bass was made using 5 instances of a simple FM -> filter patch, but every instance had a different filter type, the movement came from an ableton live macro mapped to the filters & FM amount, every layer had different ranges, so the whole combo got growly characteristics when modulating the macro & pitchbend.

Here are the bass patches, feel free to reverse engineer them :

I don't think I can thank you enough for all of that.
