Here is my submission for this month

DAW : Bitwig 5
Integrate x25
Basic DAW built-in fx : dynamics / blur / delay+ / reverb / compressor+ / limiter
It's a cool tune, but did you mean to write 'Flechtwerk' here?
Sorry ! :dog: wrong copy and paste from soundcloud.... Thank you for listening !

Hello all!

My submission:

https://soundcloud.com/nyxeles/chilloscope

Made with Reaper on Linux
15x Flechtwerk
Other plugins used: TAL reverb 4, LSP parametric eq, x42 dpl limiter

The track is a bit rough and unpolished, but I'm really happy to be posting something again after a long time of procrastinating!

My entry.

I Created the word "Invalid" using phonemes from the words "violet" and "indigo".
The shaper midi is used there to gate the phonemes.

All instrument sound use the internal env, no extra env is used for sound design.

AlignDelay, Utility, EQ8, Glue Compressor, Auto Pan, Echo

Midi: Pitch, Chord, Arpeggiator, Shaper Midi

Other: Neutron4, Plate, Neold U2A, MFM2, SparkVerb, ANINA, StereoLab, Shade, Ozone Imager, Bus Peak, Tonal Balance Control, Insight

I'm In!

https://soundcloud.com/richard-semper/r ... er-what-is

Used 30 instances of Flechtwerk in Mulab 10.2

DAW Fx: Limiters, Filters, EQ.

Free Fx plugins used: OrilRiver, Sirial, TAL Dub III, MAutopan, IntegrateFx Delay, kHs Compressor, Deelay, Sapphire Galaxy.

I also used: Mulab envelopes on the Pad sound; automation of flechtwerk parameters; the sequencer arpeggios use the arp patch in the synth.
The random tinkling notes, the crash and water drops at beginning and end were made using the noise patch with max harmonics with morph and timbre modulated, and played with a sustained note.

This is a fun synth with it's own unique character. I hope you enjoy!

101 instances of Flechtwerk in Bitwig 6.0

Bitwig devices used:
- Tool (probably the most used as a VCA and to control the width)
- Dual pan (used to recenter the instances where both OUT & AUX where used)
- Stereo split (used to mix between the OUT & AUX outputs)
- Oscilloscope
- Over (clipper)
- Gate
- Instrument Selector (for layering & polyphony)
- XY Instrument (for layering & blending between layers)
- Lots of modulators (ADSR, Macros & Segments)

External effects:
- Disperser (used for fixing some mixing issues in the low end of the kicks)
- Multiband X6 (used almost everywhere, maybe an EQ would have done the same job in most cases)
- Xfer OTT
- Pro-L 2 (on the master)
- Pro-Q 4
- Pro-R 2
- Replika XT
- TAL Reverb 4
- ValhallaFutureVerb
- ValhallaPlate
- ValhallaVintageVerb

Voted! What a wonderful round (again!) It was a real challenge this time to make decisions concerning who would get 4 points and who should get the maximum score. I could have given 5 points to at least 10 tracks but that didn't feel right. Congrats to all of us. And kudos to Flechtwerk :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Voted. There wasn't a single track in this round that warranted a significant point deduction. As a result, I gave out plenty of 5s, even more 4s, and not a single 3. A very strong round with some truly great songs! :clap: :clap: :clap:
