One Synth Challenge #88: TAL-NoiseMaker (Mac/PC) (z.prime wins!)

[z.prime]

Is this sounding better? https://soundcloud.com/bjporter/bjporte ... -neon-pong

Any suggestions to make it more fabulous and mega neon? Does it sound damp still?

This is actually pretty good, just boost the levels. And 8-bit the whole damn thing. Done.

My 25th entry is an 80s synthpop effort, minus vocals which I may add later.
Almost did not make it this month as my Muse took a holiday so ended up rushing this together in the last few days.

I will post patches shortly on KVR as usual.

Richard, if you just threw that together, you sir are a genius.

Well, I've got my 4th 5 pointer for this month. I have room for just one more.

My gut tells me that $200 top prize is at least a little incentive for all this great music. Of course you 4 guys are always near the top anyway, but still. Who can't use $200? LOL.

Good luck Richard. Really loved this one. Brings me back to my late 20s.

Ableton, 30 Noisemakers
Ableton eqs, compressors, delays, reverbs, and an auto-filter so I didn't have to take the time to automate an eq.
Ferric TDS 3rd party.

After all the amazing music already submitted... ah well. I'll just keep practicing Enjoy!

Thanks a bunch for taking a look. I might just do that, depending on how the SFX sounds

.... Brings me back to my late 20s.

Thank you
Really, I did most of the percussion sounds early in the month, then... nothing, threw away 4 terrible ideas and just about gave up.
What got me going again was having a go at a bit of a remix of Mechanought's excellent tune from last month. I guess doing something completely different helped to inspire me again.
If this takes you back that's mission accomplished

Cool, but if you hated the rules why entering the OSC at first?
(I can vaguely guess an answer)

Because at the beginning, I didn't know I'd hate the rules. Plus, I wanted to see how well I could do against the rest of the field. Now that I have the answer to that question, having been in quite a few of these.I can stop.

Hi wag, yes I see your point, it's similar to what I guessed, I don't have many wise words
for you, but I can say that I sympathize with your choice, it makes sense to me. And also I sympathize with these other things you wrote...

I'm just too competitive. And when I don't do something well, I stop doing it. --- The only reason I keep doing my music at all is because if I didn't, I might as well not exist. But in that same universe, there is music I "enjoy" doing and music I'd just assume not do.

Cheers

I would drop that conversation at this point, really. No need to put our wonderfully wacky wag on the spot, while he's already bouncing around on it.

Thanks, by the way!

Sorry if it sounded like that, I didn't mean to put him on the spot.
But just honestly interested in his experience. <wink>

Is the time up? Damn, I thought KVR time was in some American timezone and I would have some hours left to finish my track...

As of right now, you have about 5-6 hours left. It's technically midnight US-Mountain time, I think, but a few minutes late probably won't disqualify you.

Is it? In the rules it says what counts is the displayed KVR time, so I thought it´s over for me since I live in Germany...

"It is currently Thu Jun 30, 2016 6:55 pm", when it is 7:55 EST, so... US-Central time. Still 5 hours before the official deadline. But, really, as long as it is Jun 30 anywhere in the world, I don't think you'll have a problem getting submitted.
