[YouSampleMe]

Well, this is the easiest post ever!

This track was made with a single instance of Surge XT (the nightly) and no other effects.

To reiterate:

Surge XT: 1
Effects: none

Enjoy!

P.S. I've attached the preset to this post.

Really great patch (and song too). Il looks like the overlay/afx mode on my BSII.
Thanks for sharing, opened up a whole new world to me on this already awesome synth.

Hi All,
Here is my entry for this months OSC!

https://soundcloud.com/impedancemusic/i ... 9-surge-xt

It´s another track in my reverse-telled-fictious-videogame-ost-series (trademark). Good musicians write songs that tell a story so well that they need no explanation. So here is the explanation of my track [Skip the next part if you want to listen to my track unbiased]:

Before entering the simulation, our protagonist wants to spend one last weekend with their friends. As they spend time together, the protagonist realizes that it will probably never come back.
------------------------------------------
As always, all presets are made from scratch...Weeelll, almost - I tried to recreate Slowboat's Snare 1 preset because it was worlds better than mine and i wanted to understand how it was done. So technically my snare is made from scratch, but it is a copy of Slowboat's presets. I hope you all can forgive me for that.

Well... it seems to be ready. Nah, of course not, it's just that time is over! I didn't even notice how a day and a half flew by and how it happened that the length of the track almost ran into ten minutes! Won't judge you if you give less points for it) But I wouldn't cut out a single piece now, because all together it works the way... the way I Imagine.

Good luck to everyone and see you in the comments!
