One Synth Challenge #161: Synth1 by Ichiro Toda (Vospi Wins!)

[] Peter:H []

I was about to add the track details of my submission post viewtopic.php?p=8465677#p8465677

I discovered that my Bitwig Beta installation which I used to create this track is stale. Didn't know their Betas have a best before date. Because I don't have a valid new license which allows me to run 4.3 GA I cannot open the track and count stuff

So I want to kindly ask for an exemption. Would that be okay for everybody?

Have you tried temporarily resetting your system date to an earlier time? that may enable you to check your project details. Or you could send me your project file - I have up to date version of Bitwig, so should be able to read it.

Here's this month's effort:

https://soundcloud.com/violator-alba-99 ... al_sharing

I had a great time on the sound design with Synth1 but when it came to trying to produce a track I just wasn't feeling it... This came out rather bass heavy as I struggled with trying to get a melody to go with it and gave up in the end.
This uses Tracktion Waveform Pro 12 with 13 instances of Synth1 and the following plugins:

- Kilohearts Stereo for widening and static panning duties
- IK Multimedia T-Racks CSR Hall for drum reverb
- IK Multimedia T-Racks EQ-73 to attempt to tame the drum reverbs
- Audiomodern Panflow for a bit of stereo movement
- Brainworx bx_console SSL 4000 E channel strips for eq and level
- Brainworx bx_masterdesk True Peak for mastering
- IK Multimedia T-Racks Tascam 388 tape emulation
- IK Multimedia T-Racks Metering plugin
- Waveform's build in mono switch

I always have trouble mastering.
I had created an illustration yesterday, with the name "sellia".
I swear I don’t remember why I called it that? There must be a reason, I did it yesterday, but I already remember more

Yeah! I made it this month, so here is my submission : a trippy space journey.
https://soundcloud.com/user-637213504/takeoff
I made all the sounds from scratch, and I must say even if the GUI is aging the user experience when programming still is first class, and indeed synth1 sound is up to its hype! Too bad so many Mac guys could not participate!

Synth1 kicks, cellos and progressive house. It was lovely.
Discovered a couple of lifesaving plugins. Had a mixing challenge. Hope for a good result, honestly! And to discover more by listening to your works.

Done in one single day. Saw the announcement by accident and couldn't miss a Synth1 challenge.

Instances of Synth1: 27.
Not sure that every one was used.
Practically all the patches are mine, apart from I think one FX and one synth pluck.

Used effects: (ONLY free and stock FL Studio 20)
DDMF TubePreamp, ValhallaSupermassive, TAL-Filter-2, Fruity Parametric EQ 1 & 2, Reeverb 2, Stereo Shaper, Waveshaper (almost always for clipping only), ReaEQ, PTEq-X, Voxengo MSED, TDR Nova, QRange, TAL-Filter, W1 Limiter. Is there a better free master limiter, do you know of one?

I regret only one thing: doing the quiet clap the way I did it. There was a way way better way.
Anyway. I had INSANE fun. And genuinely love what came of it.
TAL-Filter-2 is a lifesaver. DDMF TubePreamp is a hidden gem.
It's a pity that Synth1 only allows two parameters to be assigned to a modwheel.
