Hello everyone, I hope you all enjoy my submission. The ring modulator and waveshaper are used for ringmod sidechaining, I didn’t use them to mangle or alter any sound. I was originally using the Kilohearts Compactor, but I found out that it messes with the signal quite a bit. I hope it doesn’t break the rules.

Some of those sounds remind me of the devices used in Stargate by the Goa'uld when interrogating ... anyone else??

Time's up for me, so I'm gonna leave this orphaned at the doors of OSC now. Feed it some juicy fives if you can. It still has to grow. :D

On reverb buses: U-he Protoverb, Valhalla Supermassive, aided by Flux Bittersweet, TDR Nova, HOFA System Pan, HOFA System Delay, JS Mixer, and A1 Stereo Control.

Here is my entry for this round:
https://soundcloud.com/the-broken-machi ... ace-sirens

This track is made for the One Synth Challenge #198, using Dawesome Myth.

Most sounds are created completly from scratch by my self. Exceptions see below.

DAW: Ableton 12

Self made Patches don't use Instrument Samples as Iris even though that is a great feature of myth,
I was exploring the a more traditional synth like side of Sounddesign with Myth:
4x Init Iris (sinewave)
1x self resampled Iris (resampled from selfmade a no Iris MythPatch )
1x TriSawPulse WT selfmade
3x No Iris.

Preset: 2x OuterWorlds - ExpressiveE (Adjusted - and any modulation played via MPE)


Ableton:
8x MPEControl
14x Utility
1x Glue Compressor
1x Limiter
1x Multiband Compressor
1x EQ8


2x Neold U2A
6x Ozone 10 - Dynamic EQ
1x Arturia Bus Peak

1x Dawesome Hate (Ott, Saturator, Compressor, EQ)
1x Dawesome Hate (Compressor)
1x Dawesome Hate (OTT, Saturator, Clouds, Compressor)


good luck everyone.
