Haha...no samples allowed, no samples used. All VA, FM, and quite a bit of RM. The latter I thought to be Collective's most charming aspect. Glad you thought it any good. Ta!

congrats to Taron and the other winners, there was some really great music this month i enjoyed listening to all of the tunes! a great deal of variety and outside-the-box work by a lot of folks. i had a fun time messing with Alchemy and writing a piece of music different from what I normally do, it was loads of fun.

@Richard - re the $50 prize... can I donate this prize back so the community now has a $100 single instance prize for OSC?

Also, depending on what @theneverscene wants I would go with Luftrum's Lunaris 2 if its available. could be fun to get lost in some pads for the rest of winter here...

This was a very interesting round with some tracks with very unusual approach ... a lot of fun and a lot to learn!
Thank you to all participants for expanding my mind, thank you for your votes and comments on my "Muxination"-track.
A special "Thank you" to Richard for running this OSC, what for sure is quite an effort every month. And finally my compliments to all participants for your work and for further improving from round to round!

Congrats Taron! Much deserved. Well done everyone else, I pass my prize whenever it's my turn.

I know I passed my prize, but I just noticed that Sinmad is now on offer as a prize and I couldn't finish the Sinmad OSC round. I enjoyed using it during the start of the round and would like to try it again!

If I can still have it as my prize, that'll be great!

Hey, congratz everyone and thanks for the fourth place! There was an exuberant amount of fantastic tracks and it was nice to write my favorite style of heavy guitar music for an OSC challenge.

I was gonna choose Bioscape, but I'll pass this month so mmGhost can pick up Lunaris 2. I grabbed it last month and it's a pad monster.

If anyone is interested, here is one of my Reason Europa Combinator guitar patches for the droney power chords. Aftertouch will give it a bend.

You are a beast, I was hoping that your monster track wins this one How are you so talented?

bro no way. go for it. i'm all set here, get your bioscape on!

[TheNeverScene]

@exponent, you have become the beast....seriously!

@mmGhost, no sir! I'm content spacing out to some pads! Lunaris is a great prize and should be spread to the masses

I gave the winner 5 points. I had no choice. Beautiful.

My submission for OSC 167:
https://soundcloud.com/kylebenjamin/kyl ... al_sharing

-Synth-
ReaSynth (one instance. yes, one instance)

-Effects-
ReaEq
ReaComp
ReaXcomp
ReaDelay
ReaVerb
ReaVerberate
ReaPitch (formant filter only)
ReaFir
ReaLimit

This was an experiment to see if ReaSynth was at all useable. While it is a rather basic synth, it turns out to not be totally worthless. I'll let my fellow OSCers decide if I made any decent use of it.

Notes to follow...

Additional notes:

I took advantage of the fact that ReaSynth has a separate sine wave generator, so that did double duty as bass and percussion (if I'm allowed to call it that). The rest was mostly a square wave with a modulated pulse width and then colored using the formant filter in ReaPitch, some more filtering with ReaVerb, a fair amount of EQ, and a boatload of automation (26 separate envelopes, if I'm counting correctly). There were the usual sends (reverb, delay) and about half a dozen others (a couple formant filters to create some panning, a homemade formant filter using ReaEQ, and a track with EQ/compression to beef up the bass).

In the end, I have no idea if this experiment worked. I can't tell if it's somewhat listenable or just a grating mess. Regardless, it was a learning experience.

I would love to learn from this, would you be willing to make the project file available?

Hey, sorry for not seeing this sooner and replying. Sure. I'll DM you the project file.
