One Synth Challenge #188: Six-Traq by Full Bucket Music (Taron Won!)

[bzz]

Yes, I could definitely make the arrangement fuller if it wasn't for the foolish single-instance goal I set for myself As for the bass, I was actually aiming for the higher pitched "demoscenish" tracker sound.

[vert-hex]

Oh wow @bzz, at first I wasn't aware it was single instance and I was still digging it. So, very cool with such a restricted palette. I think I have 5 out of 6 layers on an instance on just a snare. This synth has been a bit of a headache in all regards, much like (I'm sure) its original namesake. Same thoughts as the others about the bass, but-- nice job!! 10/10 would happily crack adobe products to this choon.

My contribution to the OSC188
It took me an hour to get adapted to the sound while creating presets, then to my surpise I came to this compostion

Reaper7.25
20 instances of Sixtraq
FX: Valhalla Supermassive,js presence EQ, Sixth Sample Deelay and Cramit, Blue Arp,Mequalizer, Mcompressor, Tal 4 reverb, Tal Dub II, Volume pan Smoother, Tukan Sphinx
Mixbus: GClip TDS Kotelnikov, Loudmax, MAnalizer, MEqualizer, 4U Goniometer

Made a few small changes to my track:
1. Slowed the noise attack on the percussion as I felt it was a bit too hard on the ears (thanks vert). Really like it better now.
2. Increased the high freqs on the pad, though still low passed with a 6db slope.
3. Also I had a bit of clicky noises when the pad was alone coming from the trance gate. The pad was comprised of 5 instances and figured out it was only the highest part of the lowest freq instance that was interacting with the trance gate to make clicks so I EQ'd it.

Really happy with those little changes. Sorry I once again submitted something that wasn't quite the final version. One day I'll stop doing that...?

Another one-instance job, inspired by legendary works of art like Plantasia and the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack. I only cheated a little bit, making the track with the pad polyphonic. All the others are like the Sequential Circuits gods intended.

Made in Reaper 6.81. FX used:
ReaEQ x5
VOS NastyDLAmkII x3
VOS EpicPLATE x2
VOS TesslaSEmkII x2 (for some subtle glue)
ReaEQ, ReaXcomp, VOS FerricTDS, Analog Obsession PreBOX, ReaLimit on the master.

A few folks commented that my collab last month was a rock track - the intention was dark synthwave but they certainly weren't wrong. So this month, I decided to just make a rock track. Basically all parts but the drums were written on guitars and converted to MIDI one way or another.

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out drum synthesis - thanks to all the Discord folks for their help. I learned a ton this month in sound design and mixing. Still a long way to go. This is probably the most complex project I've ever had with bussing, side chaining, mid-side, etc.

Here is DrBob's track for this round. My sax player headed over to Taron's studio and the keyboardist/guitarist is visiting OnTrackP! The percussionist just headed for the mountains!

In keeping with the philosophy of this synth, each section of this track is just 6 tracks of 6-Traq. Bridges fewer, of course. I decided not to try a single instance with all the attendant changes and flow of many MIDI tracks to the 6 tracks in the synth.

Not sure what Soundcloud has done to the dynamics, but it does sound better if you play the raw Wav file via download.

DAW: Reaper
Track Details: 23 * Six-Traq, 25 * ReaEQ, 1 * Oril River, 1 * TAL Filter, 8 * Twin Delay, 3 * Pecheneg Tremolo, 4 * LFX-1310
Master: SlickEQ, MSED, Limiter No. 6
Meter: SPAN, Youlean Loudness Meter
Stats: LUFS-I: -14.0

Enjoy.
