One Synth Challenge #174: InfernalSynth by sjoerdvankreel

[NeuKatalYst]

There were 20 entries that we all voted on, so I thought the top placements didn't go down unless there are *less* than 20?

There was a disqualification, so I suppose that's the actual reason, but still: I'd gotten excited.

Congrats all. Very good tracks from not such a good synth! Thanks for voting for my track to my usual pivot place in the table

A Very Close Contest for the top this time:- so by a coin toss:

Richard - I think I've spotted a problem in the voting, which I think could re-order the list slightly.

Emikaela is down as giving zero points to 574X, Impedance Music and SynthDX7.
This must be an error because the lowest possible points to give is 1.
This is putting these three artists at a disadvantage - and they could potentially rise up a place if Emikaela's real vote is counted.

As a top-5 participant, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested in this outcome

There does indeed appear to be an error in the scoresheet, thanks for reporting this.

Please everyone be patient while we recheck this.

sorry for the confusion, my votes were just a work in progress that i never ended up finishing, they should not count at all. i assumed they wouldn't if i didn't score every entry. so, zero points for everyone from me this round!

some very good music though! just didn't manage to take enough time to give everything a fair score. you'll notice those three mentioned are last in the playlist, so certainly not intended to be a strike against the quality of those.

i'm afraid yours was one of my provisional fives, so removing my scores is not going to move you in a favorable direction

I know, I was just waiting for the punch that would definitively lower my position through no fault of my own: even more spite

[exponent1]

Hey thanks all! I was not sure if my industrial-midtempo-synth-metal track would be well received by our community, so I'm pleasantly surprised with the final result

Hearty congrats to everyone, especially @davi-dj, @MorphedDreams and @MadMcMan, for their wonderful compositions and productions this round

Much respect for Richard and BJ for hosting this

I will pass my prize

PS: Who is igorius?

Looks like they are a fairly new person to KVR.
They have submitted an entry for #175

[davi-dj]

Thanks friends for another great round and for put me on the top and share it Exponent1 or at least for a couple or hours (or maybe I dreamed it...)

InfernalSynth is a great synth with great sound, yes it's hard to tamed but its routing possibilities and that shapes are great. Great work sjoerdvankreel.

For the prize I would like to have Sinmad from NuSofting

[MorphedDreams]

Hey friends, thanks all for high votes.
I liked the synth, I could make consistent kick and bass with it, cool FM and PM sounds and cool distortions.

Congrats to everyone, especially @exponent1, @davi-dj, @MadMcMan, beside them I heard a lot of great tracks in this round.

For my prize I pick: Luftrum Bioscape and additional prize Yuli Yolo Sound Design: Soundsets for Vital: Diversity, Bass Music Wavetables, Noises & Exciters

PS: Who is igorius?

That's me. Why, what happened, what did I do?
I haven't submitted anything to the #175 challenge, by the way. I was considering to do so, but don't have much time and maybe not the skills yet either.
