One Synth Challenge #207: Deimos by Tom Trnk (Voting Started!)

[maxym.srpl]

Hello, it has happened to me twice that SoundCloud did not update the settings. I mean, I changed private to public, added a comment, pressed save, and it did not adjust the settings. I figured it out by accident, adding the plugin list to the description later on.
Possibly it's just an isolated case, but worth checking twice.

27 - instances of Deimos - no stereo fx on the raw sounds within the instrument.

number of instances per instrument sharing the same music/midi

kick - 2 (used a basic hp filt and rev the phase on the top portion)
bass - 2
toms - 1
snare - 1
hats - 3
horns - 3 (basic ableton chorus ens)
pad horns - 3 (val supermsv)
mid bass sound - 4
old school nes sound remined me of the duck tails game - 3
lead - 2 (put a basic ableton spectral shaper on it for some space on it)
pad - 2 (chorus ens + phaser/flange - feedback cranked and mixed level lower)
mono synth in the background with some glide - 1
32nd note synth - 2 (hard panned them, and then used the single lfo set to a slowish sine to glide between the two - added a bit of neat little depth to it)

doubled the instrument and hard panned a lot of them. most of them just sounded pretty wide doing that and avoided any reverb/delay until the very end of the project.

shut off 'slop' controls and used the basic single lfo for instrument movement before adding any fx.



between piano, guitar and violin students a four year album double project we're cutting to vinyl this year, and a ton of other music stuffs this was really nice refresher creatively.
really impressed by the musicality of the oscs.

the big test for me is, can i sit down, play it and program it. being a concert pianist (not really shown in this example) - it's uber important that i can play it. i hate programed arps, and static midi stuff


downloaded earlier yesterday morning and after playing with the oscillators, fm and the filter (the overdrive is really nice on this) was inspired to knock something together.

came up with the theme before having to run errands all day.
total spent of maybe about three to four hours, three moka pots of coffee, and other than the snare was all custom sounds from scratch.

all the music was played by hand, basically no quantizing.

i have to stop doing this to myself when i get inspired to do one of these here on kvr! meaning 'oh this is neat, oh yea, when's it due?' - less than 24 hours.

really wanted to polish it more but the music has a good vibe to it.
think this was sequenced in about 10 minutes from session view hitting recording in the arrangement

i think i want to actually finish this track properly.

thanks for listening and awesome work Tom Trnk! bro, seriously nice instrument!

Peter, sadly you are not allowed to use any modulating FX such as chorus and phaser/flanger in OSC tracks. See the "rules".

Don't know if you have enough time to remove them (substitute) and re-submit.

Sorry to point this out ...

I expect that it'll be up and running by the time I've had my dinner (UK time). Without stating when dinner is...

Peter - as Bob said: external choruses, phasers, and flanges aren't allowed. I wanted to add that these are only allowed if they are part of the synth itself; in this case, it has its own chorus, but that's it.
