39 primer 2 instances
Fircomp
Kclip Zero
kHs Reverb
Limiter No6
LoudMax
Kotelnikov
ValhallaSupermassive

Sequenced in bitwig witch allowed me to mpe-ify primer.
I used my linnstrument to control 6 instance at once using pressure to control cutoff and timbre to control lfo rate, witch gave my main idea for this piece of music.
Hope you enjoy!

I'm new to these parts, but have been hearing internet chatter about the One-Synth challenge for some time now, particularly from the Surge XT community. I was very pleased that the folks at Audible Genius announced Primer as this month's featured synth. Since I'm already somewhat familiar with Primer, I decided to go out on a limb and submit my first track to the challenge.

This is thirteen instances of Primer created in Reaper.
There are also 2 or 3 instances of ReaEQ and one instance of ReaComp.
Welcome! I hope you enjoy it and stick around :)
There is a discord channel for most of the chat. It's fun.

My entry: "Bertrand's Descent On The Serenity Tassel Cushion"
https://soundcloud.com/slugnest/bertran ... al_sharing

DAW: Reaper
53 Instances of Primer 2
All from Init. No presets used.

No active fx, apart from a DD Limiter on master bus.

It had been 18 months since Victorian space explorer Prof Bertrand Snook set out in the Starship Argenti.
He had now come to the event horizon of Marlnarri - the black hole that had been behaving so oddly in his telescopiucus back on Earth.
Settling onto his Serenity Tassel Cushion - he checks his recording equipment one last time - and descends down into Malnarri...

29 instances used to create a track.

I created this song in the last few days, it was a busy month. The synth itself is a decent one, could be someone's first synth as it's designed to learn. The controls are pretty basic and the FX section lacks some crucial parameters (like low/high filtering for reverb/delay). The synth has its own character though. It's reminiscent of 90's virtual analog synths with that characterful phase restart effect when unison mode is turned on. I could even make some cool rave sounds with it.
