One Synth Challenge #198: Any One Synth (The Sound of Merlin Wins!!)

[The Sound Of Merlin]

Thank you my friends for the congrats and all the enthusiastic response my track got from you. And congratulations to all other winners who really did a remarkable job with their tracks. Same goes for all contenders in this great round. I had a wonderful time listening to all your tracks.

And a big thank you to Richard and BJ Porter for organising and maintaining this wonderful community. Whether it's #198 or #200.... It's a lot!

Since I have already bought Spline by the Wavewarden which is a wonderful synth that everyone should have, the choice for a prize has become very easy this time. I would love to get Novum by Dawesome as that's also a great synth that everybody should have.

Prize: Novum by Dawesome. Thanks!

Congrats TSOM, well deserved win!
And same congrats for the other top 5 those are great tracks
And everybody else, too that was a very nice round. I'm really happy I could participate 3 months in a row, won't have time so much before the end of the year I anticipate.

Congratulations to all the winners, and everyone else who managed to finish a track this month!

I thought "any synth" month would be easy, but ended up spending most of that time deciding which synth to use. NI had recently fixed some of the annoyances that kept me from using Massive X all these years, so I gave it a second chance.

Thanks to everyone for the comments and feedback. I appreciate it, and have learned a lot.

As for a prize, I choose Dmitry Sches' Diversion.

Thank you everyone!!!!

I honestly never could've imagined that I would make it to the top 5, especially that I had to rush my track within just a few days for this challenge. I didn't manage to mix it very well or make a better flute sound. I also agree with some of the comments on my track, such as bringing the drums up more and maybe increasing the bpm in the later half. (though after listening for quite a number of times, I think I'm slowly growing to it being that slow as it somehow feels heavier[?] in a way). I am open to any feedback and would love to learn more!

I'd also like to congratulate all the other winners and many others too which I believe their track really deserved a spot compared to mine. This round has been really enjoyable with so many great submissions. I also want to apologize as I'm not a person who often comments, but with such a wonderful community here, I'll do my best to engage more and share my thoughts!

Before my turn to pick a prize, could I ask for clarification about the rules regarding duplicate selections? I recall reading that once a prize is chosen, it becomes unavailable to others, but I can’t seem to find that rule now. I may be wrong. If duplicates are allowed, I’d love to choose Novum by Dawesome. If not, could I instead choose another option from Dawesome, or is Dawesome no longer available?

Each prize on the list is available to one prize winner for the month (unless otherwise stated)
So - both Dawesome and Dmitry Sches prizes have been chosen so far and may not be picked again.
All the remaining prizes are still available, but I believe there are still two winners to choose before your turn.

Got it, thank you very much for clarifying!

Congratulations to the winners!

I’m honestly surprised and very happy to be in the top 5 this time!
Many thanks for all the feedback and comments on my track – I really appreciate it.

I also want to apologize for not commenting much myself. I don’t always feel comfortable doing it publicly, so when I do it’s usually in private messages.

Finally, a special thank you to BJ Porter and Richard for their personal support to me, even while facing their own difficulties.

For my prize, I’d like to choose Luftrum – Bioscape.

I don't mind sharing my PS-3300 presets with my friends here as long as you promise you won't spread them any further. It's a preset pack that I sell in my shop. However... sharing it here is a joy of course
