Between the middle of nowhere,
and the edge of nothing,
the Gnomes of Garden still dream.
Of worlds between roots and leaves,
between focus and distraction,
between you and me.

Hey All,

Here's my single instance submission using Apricot.

https://soundcloud.com/theexponent/lone ... 71-apricot

I was really pressed for time this month, so there are lots of rough edges in the track. I hope that this short track is still listenable and somewhat enjoyable.

Take care!

This is not the track I set out to create but it's the one that Apricot led me to, for better or worse... Anyway, here's this month's effort:

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

Due to technical issues with Waveform Pro and the VST CLAP host, this track uses Cakewalk with 10 instances of Apricot running in the Ildaeil VST2 CLAP host. Also used the following plugins:

- Sonitus Compressor (Cakewalk)
- Valhalla Supermassive
- Youlean Loudness Meter
- HF Exciter (Cakewalk)
- kHs Limiter
- ProChannel channel strips (Cakewalk)
- Midi generated with Scaler

All patches, apart from percussion, are from init. The percussion was based on existing patches.

Yes... unfortunately there is a bug introduced in Bitwig Beta 8 that causes some CLAP plugins to crash (including Apricot). But I've reported the issue to the Bitwig team so hopefully it can get fixed ASAP. It's a shame that this happened to coincide with the OSC.
