One Synth Challenge #197: Odin 2 by TheWaveWarden (Irion Da Ronin Wins!)

[majoranman]

Hello there,

I was away for a long time for the forum (almost a decade to be precise) but now I'm back and take part in the OSC for the first time. Sadly I made the decision ony a week ago, so there wasn't much time left to make and polish my song. It's the first time that I used Odin 2 but so far it has been much fun and was rather easy to dial in a few pleasing and interesting sounds (to my ears they were at least ) If I had more time, I would have spent quite a lot more time on the tune, but nevertheless I am happy with it so far and I stand confident with my submission. I just hope for some feedback on it (and that I didn't break any rules, in any case I didn't do so on purpose please don't be too hard because it's my first submission)and will start earlier with the next OSC that I have a chance to take part in.

Coka Bizarro - Piggy Time (KVR OSC #197)

https://soundcloud.com/cokabizarro/pigg ... vr-osc-197

I made it in FL Studio 2024 and used: 16 instances of Odin 2
On the 2-Bus: Mastering2 (Airwindows), CompEQ (Terry West),TesslaSE (VoS) Fruity Limiter (Fruity Stock)
As send tracks: Fruity Delay Bank (Fruity Stock), PocketVerbs (Airwindows)
As insert on tracks: Hype (Airwindows), Point (Airwindows), Compresaturator (Airwindows), Srsly3 (Airwindows), ChromeOxide (Airwindows) Gold-Pro EQ (Terry West), SJOE (Terry West), MOJOE (Terry West), easy-iQ-one EQ (easytoolz), TesslaSE (VoS).

I tried to keep it down as much as possible (something that I don´t do normally when I make music, so it was a very interesting challenge that gave me a nice new perspective on making music) and used the in built Fx in Odin 2 to the maximum and the external plugins only where I saw it necessary (that was mostly eq-ing and other similar, minor spectral correctures and a bit of stereo enhancement here and there). The modular workflow inside Odin 2 was definitely cool and a charm to work with, especially the filter, amp + distortion and fx routing made sound design enjoyable, it was easy to come up with sounds similar to the ideas I had in my head before.

Best regards, majoranman (a.k.a CokaBizarro on S.C.)

Another track with a title that is almost completely but not quite totally unrelated to the tune. When a cheese sammich just won't cut it, I present: Odin's BLT.

Back to Bitwig this month for another track created from a bunch of launcher clips adlibbed into a track in one take. A few other wee bits and pieces were added and here we are. All patches from init apart from maybe the kick which started out as a preset. There would have been some automation of Odin's parameters only there seems to be some sort of clash between Bitwig and Odin2 when using automation.

Anyhoo, 15 instances of Odin2 and some of the usual suspects:

- dpMeter5, Blue Cat Audio Gain 3 and KClip Zero on clip to zero duty
- kHs Stereo
- kHs Trance Gate
- OTT
- ZL Equalizer
- the ubiquitous Valhalla Supermassive
- TDR Kotelnikov and Nova ably assisted by KClip Zero on mastering duty
- percussion sequenced with Beat Scholar's MIDI rendered to the track
- arp MIDI generated by Eternal Arps

For those who care about such things:
-10.6 LUFS INT
-8.8 LUFS ST

Artwork with thanks to H0lyGh0st.

Apologies for the repetitiveness: listening over and over and it still doesn't feel like six minutes to me so I didn't cut it down. Also there's nothing to induce a boyband to stand up from their stools...

Hi. I hope it isn't too late. I posted my track on Tuesday but I just looked and it doesn't appear in the forum. First ever completed track and first entry.

Maybe the five post rule?

Hi Guys,

I've been back from vacations and slightly updated my track... And I'm sorry, since I don't suscribe to soundcloud offering it deleted the nice comments I really did appreciated!

[ontrackp]

My entry this month:
https://soundcloud.com/ontrackp/osc-197 ... ushrooms-1

About 45 instances in Logic Pro X. Logic delays, compressors, reverb, saturation. Nova free. Frontier Limiter.
Thanks to BJ and Richard - as always!

[mmGhost]

My submission - 50 instances of Odin 2. great synth i've always liked. All reverbs, distortions, delays and all fx are inside Odin 2. Logic eqs and compressors used for mix-down and Lim No 6 on master for catching some peaks. I used one instance of TDR Nova to tame some frequencies dynamically on the kik I couldn’t figure out with synthesis or with the stock logic eq.

tons of fun, this synth. some awesome modern features under the hood of a classic gui. feature request - unlimited mod matrix routes.

Really enjoyed this synth. I tried to capture the feeling of driving west on State Route 161 through my hometown in Ohio, and out into the farmland beyond. A little less sure of both my compositional and sound design choices than sometimes, so constructive criticism is even more welcomed than usual.

Sorry, probably should've mentioned that I updated this track. I re-uploaded two days ago after having fixed some mixing issues. The kick is now much more present, and the bass and some other parts are now much clearer. Some changes to the clap sound in the last third, but no other significant changes.

For anyone curious, the cover image is a picture I took in Park Güell, that I then rammed through a ton of color fx. I think it looks neat, I'm going to keep experimenting with graphic design for my cover images in the future (despite having absolutely no visual artistic skills).
