TRACK NOTES:

Created for the KVR One-Synth-Challenge Special: Computer Music magazine.

All sounds from Synapse Audio's Dune CM VST synthesiser plugin. I adapted a few of the (excellent) existing presets and created my own custom patches.

24 instances of Dune CM. Mixed/mastered in Cockos Reaper 4.52 with native fx (ReaGate, ReaComp, ReaEQ, ReaDelay, ReaControlMidi) and free fx (arcDev ET-301 delay, Variety of Sound BootEQmkII / DensitymkIII / epicVerb, TLs Maximizer, Voxengo Span).

Awesome to see new people!! Welcome everyone

[JPQ]

I Used
DAW: Logic Pro 9.1.8
Synthplugin Synapseaudio Dune CM (5 parts) with three custom sounds (bad pad,very silly hihat and "space" xylophone) and two presets (flute and "guitar"?)
Effects Subsonic Labs Wolfram CM (i bet its called such) one instance for delay effect i of course can done many others but i choiced it becouse comes with CM at least my magazine has it. and Logics own Gain plugin. which i bet is allowed when tune so quiet without it. and i used it whole tune when is even more allowed i think... but i want add i more composer than synth programmer etc.

My entry... https://soundcloud.com/retrax/blaakk-man-with-no-wind

I used 38 instances of Dominator (many of which are just slightly tweaked/EQ'd duplicates), and stuck to Reaper/JS plugins only. Finally starting to differentiate between them! All patches programmed from scratch.

DAW:

• Reaper

Master FX Chain:

• ReaEQ > ReaXcomp > ReaEQ > JS/exciter > JS/eventhorizon2

Busses & Tracks:

• ReaEq x 31
  ReaComp x 24
  ReaDelay x 5
  ReaGate x 5
  ReaVerbate x 2
  ReaXcomp x 2
  JS/resonantLPfilter x 3
  JS/stereofield x 1
  JS/stereowidth x 3
  JS/fairlychildish2 x 1
  JS/floaty_delay x 1
  JS/limiter x 1
  JS/transient_driven_autopan_v1.1 x 1
  JS/saturation x 4
  KanakaMS5 x 1
  KanakaMS5Encoder x 1
  JS/midi_transpose

Sends:

• ReaVerb > ReaEQ
  ReaDelay

Saturation plugins used minimally. I could have used the synths filters in the cases where I used the JS/lowpassfilters but I didn't for simplicity's sake because I had Dominator plugins pinning themselves everywhere near the end trying to trip me up (and succeeding the odd time).

In the last decade of the 20th century, Rave went from epidemic to pandemic. By the middle of the following decade, it lay dormant, a latent infection biding its time...

Done! At last I can get back to my surface life...

14 tracks of Unknown64 CM, tracked in Renoise and mixed in Studio One 2.

Stock effects used: reverb, delay, EQ, filters, compression. Oh, except for TAL Reverb, once. That's my favourite.

I did all the automation in Renoise, which took some doing as the synth parameters are all called things like 'input'. When I went over to Studio One I could have kicked myself... so easy there.

Was starting to doubt my sanity in using this synth, but after a long, long night I've really fallen for it. It's just crackling with possibilities. Anyway, there we are. Tearful and exhausted... Thank God it's over for another month.
