One Synth Challenge #192: Six Sines by BaconPaul (johnkhf Wins!)

[violator_alba]

SixSines took a while to get into but once I got going I had to remember to make an actual track.

So, the guys we hired got bored and went to the bar leaving us with this ape and a drum kit. Um, enjoy.

Using Bitwig Studio 5.3 this month with 12 instances of SixSines. In spite of this synth's lack of built in effects, I didn't feel the need to add too much more so the following additional plugins were used:

- The usual Clip to Zero trio of dpMeter5, Blue Cat Gain 3 and KClip Zero
- The inevitable ValhallaSupermassive to try to push everything back a bit
- Raum for some reverb variety
- TDR Molotok on the percussion buss
- TDR Nova and Kotelnikov on master
- Bitwig's EQ+ and Compressor

Hi everyone, here is my entry, I used 6 instances of Six Sines in Reaper. On the master I used ReaEQ just to roll off bass a little and also ReaLimit, Thanks!

Spending some of my Saturday listening to all the amazing tracks. Thank you all so much for investing in this little synth which was just a math exploration in December, and for all your great ideas which made it better. And for sharing your music and creativity with everyone here. This has been a great experience as a dev, and I appreciate the time and creativity you all invested!

You've been a dream dev for the OSC, making it a very memorable month. Even if I didn't get to make a "proper" track, but I promise to make it up to you later. Six Sines is a revelation and I'll definitely continue to follow your progress, hoping you'll continue with it. But even as it is, it's a little go-to for me in the future, no doubt!

Thank you for having been with us like this and all the very best to you!

Thank you so much for making this gem available, and for all the help and support throughout the challenge.

Thanks also to Taron for the excellent videos - these really helped unlocking the mystery of fm synthesis!

I played quite a bit with this synth and learned a lot. Wanted to complete a track - but life got in the way again.

[ElVincente]

Yep, I'll add to the praise ! baconpaul thank you so much for making this available to us synth entousiastics.
I mean, I already reverd you (and all the team) for surge xt. (Damn I made that one scream )
We're very lucky to have you around
Looking forward a short circuit month

Really impressed by Six Sines and what you achieved in such a short time @baconpaul
We are all truly grateful to your commitment and zeal to create such a wonderful piece of software and gift it to the world.

I wish I could spend more time with it to explore its unlimited potential even more, but I will keep coming back to it. It's truly one of the best ones out there.

I also had a bunch of stuff going on that prevented me from making anything more than a crappy 8-bar loop, but I also just wanted to second, third... fourth? One-hundredth. Yes, one-hundredth how much you are appreciated, Paul. Helping shepherd Surge was the start, but your contributions to the audio software community are incredibly valuable -- synths, libraries, especially helping to get a true open standard -- CLAP accessible, and just being an all-around great guy! So, thank you!

@baconpaul - yes yes yes to everything said before. Also, I'd like to thank you for your quick responses to requests and "bugs", and for providing nightly's with fixes/new features.

Also, many thanks for engaging in a professional way with us here, even if we have some odd ideas (Some of which might end up in 6sines).
