One Synth Challenge #197: Odin 2 by TheWaveWarden (Irion Da Ronin Wins!)

[NeuKatalYst]

I remember I first started, I thought I was only limited to the suggestions on the site and didn't use anything I would have wanted, LOL

Anyway: continue participating beyond this month to see what your favorite artists and peers use, since it's required to list them anyway! For example, I personally can't recommend the free Kilohearts suite enough (if it helps); but other popular ones are popular for good reason, such as Supermassive or OTT

Here is my submission for this month. Although the options the synth offers are really nice, working with it was quite a nightmare. It's a shameless CPU eater, even for simple patches (I found out that I couldn't use unison at all). When I loaded my work-in-progress project, the synth didn't play correctly the first time, as if it only loaded the patches completely during the first playback. The output sometimes hung strangely, and it behaved very nondeterministically overall (probably because of free-running LFOs or something). For example, I had to export about ten times before achieving the desired loudness because the result was different each time...

Anyway, enough whining Produced in Cakewalk. 17 instances of Odin 2. epicCLOUDS, Magic7, RoughRider3, OTT, LFX-1310, W1 Limiter as the external FX.

DAW: Reaper
Odin2 x 37

Fx:
ReaLimit
Loudmax
Supermassive
Raum
Tukan Compressor 3
Roughrider
ZL Equalizer
FrankCS
BusterSE
KSHMR Kick Essentials
OTT

First times using Frank CS which I'm really liking, Loudmax which didn't do anything for me that I couldn't do with ReaLimit, KSHMR which is better than the transient shaper I was using, and Raum which I'm also digging.

Here's my entry. It's been a while, isn't it? Finally, after a difficult month for my mental health, I have something to show for and I'm coming back to the light. Producing this track has been a way to exorcise those demons out of me (the title is quite eloquent about that: "burakku horu" is the Japanese term for "black hole"):

This is my first OSC (and first KVR post, and first SoundCloud post… lots of firsts). Inspired by a Boards-sounding preset and went with it. Will definitely be doing another OSC… working on this one finally got me comfortable using automation lanes in Reaper… feel like I learned more about MIDI in Reaper in the past 30 days than I have in the past 3 years!

DAW: Reaper 7.42

FX: None (other than post-processing normalization when rendering… hoping the final product is loud enough… normalized to -0.75).

18 instances of Odin2

Very cool track!
I commented more on Soundcloud.
Curious: Why Reaper 7.27 specifically? Your birthday?

Thanks! I have a lot of customizations set up in Reaper, and had some issues with past versions breaking things, so, I tend to be extra cautious and only update if there's a feature or fix I really need.

My submission:

27 instances used to create a track.

This is my new slow rolling darksynth song with doom/power metal influences as I think this sound fits the synth really well. I've been working with ODIN 2 few years ago. The synth has really good layout and selection of modules and I especially like it's feature of multi stage saturation/distortion that you get from filters and amp section. You can create a really thick analog style sounds with it. I also like the new UI and new features.

x1 FL Layer (utility)
x27 "ODIN 2"

EQ & Saturation:

The Cover Image is 100% made by me (starting with the original photo of the crow).

For the track I used Ableton Live 12 with:
25x Instances of Odin2

Ableton Stock Devices (without Master chain):
14x EQ8 (mostly to cut rumble below 100Hz)
11x Utility (for volume automation)
1x Glue Compressor
1x Compressor
1x Multiband Compressor

Bus Fx:
1x HybridReverb
1x Echo (simple 8th note ping pong, no modulations)

MasterChain:
Eq8, Glue Compressor, Utility( For the Fade out), Limiter

Odin2 was a interesting Synth with some unpredictable behaviour but overall very powerful after getting used to the little quirks.

Good Luck everyone, I already heard some nice contributions and am curious what is still to come up til the end of the day.

Hi everyone,

[...]

Update on my submission:
I changed a transition at 3:43 and the repetition of the outro section, which felt a bit weird.
I'm still not really happy with the mix/master but it's a bit better now.

[IV!]

To do something to not to do nothing.

First time Reaper.

OrilRiver and LoudMax on Master.

I don't have a contribution this month.
Odin2 wasn't particularly good for my system

Good luck to the rest of you
