UUUUOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

[Polynik77]

I rushed the last one last minute. Not this one. I'm gonna enjoy this one.

[doctorbob]

I am new here, I would love to join it.

Welcome. Please read the rules (linked above) carefully and you should be good to go.
Looking forward to your submission at the end of the month. Remember that when you vote, you must vote (rate) all tracks (by the 16th of the month). Not doing so means you will get disqualified.

Once the submissions are closed, the title of the first page will change to say "Voting Started" (this sometimes worries first time musicians - it's not always clear how "voting open" is announced!).

Enjoy.

But I am looking forward to listening to all of your entries!

Should be a fun one!

Rather stressful to get good sounds without having a PhD. Drawing a saw spectrum incl filter reso for a TB 3o3!? Hahaha, but no. That's why I call it a day already.

Update: 12.10.2025 - Track is now "public"

Thanks for the likes for the last month's track.

For the last month I was a bit late and did not had enough time to finish my track.
Here comes my finished track, while the muse is still on vacation - I hope you guys like.

“OSCiLLiUM” opens with a descending bass line — a slow dive into vibration and inner space,
as a preparion of a journey down the inner sound.
At 88 BPM it moves with punch: tight kicks, crisp snares, and a sub that smoothly breathes.
The track unfolds like a wave — calm, clear, beat-driven, with pulsing depth and a hint of melancholy.

To be honest I used some factory presets as starting points, as they are sooo good! (Well done U-HE)

In the middle of the track, I gave an unedited preset called “Beat Machine 2” a solo appearance because I think it fits so well that I left it unchanged. I know this is rather unusual for OSC, but I just couldn't help myself – I fell in love...

nJoY.

Hi guys! How are you? You missed me these months! Hope you spent a great summertime. I did'n want to skip osc#200 (two hundred!!!) anyway and Zebralette is fantastic and right for my needs. Actually i was away from virtual synths environment for a while because i'm falling in love with some old hardware synths(actually 90's midi expanders) that i'm buying for really few bucks. I also had a musical concept rounding in my mind to develop with those "dinosaurs" modules, but then i decide to go on with this U-He synth. Smooth, great sounding and funny!

Ok,...resist, it's a above 7 mins song but it's a kind of mini prog suite with some odd signatures and harmonic weirdnesses...but i like it(Hope you, too!)...i had to made it!
[i could replace the track with an improved (...or worse) version before the deadline]

thanks to the synth developer, to the community guys and overall to OSC admins. Congrats for the 200 challenges goal! Unbelievable...so many years! (i know they are even some more)

See you soon

Ciaooooooo!!!

Here's my entry for the OSC #200 challenge. A few people in our OSC Discord responded enthusiastically when I said I was planning to make a contemporary hippie piece. A promise is a promise. Dr Bob immediately sent me live recordings of his band from the good old days. But with my background, with Zebralette and the OSC rules, I can't quite match that. But don't worry, I've tried to capture the spirit of the Flower Power generation which was great fun.
