Sorry, I am a little late, but here is my submission for this month.

https://soundcloud.com/synthtronica/syn ... l_sharing

DAW: Cakewalk

Since Cakewalk does not support the CLAP plugins, I had to use Ildaeil by DISTRHO on all my tracks so I can run Apricot.

Instances of Synth: 18

Native FX Plugins
Cakewalk EQ x17

3rd Party FX Plugins
TDR Nova x15
RoughRider3 x3
LoudMax x1 - Master

I have to say that Apricot is truly an exceptional synthesizer. I'm glad I made some time to try this delicious treat!... I barely scratched the surface... and found it very juicy... with a hard core aspect... although when several are pressed, the processer became a bit sluggish... and resulted in a bad case of the runs... :roll: :lol:

:party: It's a historic moment for the OSC - The first non-VST software synthesizer! :party:

Dare I look into the future and speculate as to what type of synthesizers will be designed to be controlled by brain computer interfaces, and the projected time frame of adoption in the OSC :o :borg: :lol:

Anyone else having a problem with comments on SoundCloud?

I commented on two OSC tracks, now I'm getting a message pop up in the top right-hand corner of the screen "! Unable to save comment".

'MusicMilk.club' and the other scammy promotion accounts don't seem to have this problem... :neutral:

Ticket opened with SC support.

I can only assume it's traffic, but whenever I've had the issue, I just keep trying to post until it works.

Basically: pound the comment into place until it stays

Over 20 pounds until it stuck, this is going to get very old very quickly... :neutral:

I second that. It is a great tool, worked instantly under Reaper and it has all the features you need to make good sounds. Unfortunately I did not have enough time to dive very deeply into it this time but even when you alter the presets you can realize, how powerful it is.

Ok, colour me surprised, but this worked - thanks, liqih. : )

[edit]

Well that didn't last long. It works once or twice then stops until I switch to another vpn host. :?

Funny thing, good to know that it just delays the block.
Sad though, as commenting is one of the feature of the OSC.

Voted! Of those who are not in Discord, I would like to mention the Medniex track as one of the brightest and most powerful numbers of the month!
In fact, I have more favorite tracks this month than usual!)

I keep forgetting to ask: can someone post a link here for the Discord? It's probably better to do it here, so others can see that someone else did it. Thanks in advance!
