SDCompo Round 76

Renoise Songs Competitions & Collaborations
1

Hi all! Just wanted to welcome you all over to SDCompo.

Round 76 just got started today, and features an FM Synthesis theme using the mda DX10 vsti.

Deadline for submissions is: 2013-10-31 00:00:00 *CST

It’s not a beautiful synth, and is somewhat limited in terms of what can be tweaked… But as we all know, sometimes limitations can spark creativity.

So, I hope to see you & your interesting tracks over that way!

Good luck!

I started on a track for this and hopefully i’m able to finish it in time. :)
I’m not used to working with vsti’s and out of habit i started typing pattern effects. Is that a feature that could come in a future release, i mean vsti’s and pattern effects? That would be awesome! ^_^

mda dx10 ? :blink: there’s no drumset in this synth… :unsure: and even if I play with the params in the External Editor, not easy to crate a proper drumkit with it…

I think the the only way to use some pattern commands is to put the Instr* Automation Meta-Device on the track and and right click on the sliders during the playback ;
with mda DX10, try to play with the “vibrato” parameter.

That’s what killed this round for me :(

  • okay I’ve found a trick to create a simple drumkit with mda dx10, with the help of resonant filters, and the lofimat device (it can create some white noise usefull for hit hats)…
  • track submitted
  • hey thebellows I hope you’ll finish yours !
  • see ya all !

Everytime i sit down with this i end up doing something completely different. I’ll do another attempt tomorrow i think, it’s a tricky one though. :rolleyes:

Glad to hear some of you are entering :)

The only suggestion I have regarding drum sounds is: Creative use of distortion :drummer:

:lol:

8

A little bit of scream filter, some lofimat, signal following filters, lot of distortion, exiter and a gate and you have something that sounds exactly like a very fake drum with a bit of goodwill. :lol:

And BTW, i’m definatly gonna win this round, you won’t stand a chance. Especially KURTZ! :badteeth:

yes your track is slightly better than mine… in terms of sound research with the dx10 synth you’ve done a better work ; I like your glitchy hit hats ; but my track has its own little strenghts especially the native formant filter and a good drumkit emulator (a powerfull kick and a snappy snare drum)… I also expect something good from chotoro & chunter ;)/> let’s wait and see !

Haha, i was only joking of course. :D
Just checked your track and damn, you gonna beat me again! :panic:

…and how the hell did you make the dx10 talk? And what about the glissando effect? :blink:

11

the dx10 can’t talk, it’s renoise that talks with the help of the “Easy Formants” technique - glad you’ve dicovered it ; you’re one of the contributors because your “invisible melodies” inpired me some parts of this technique.

I’ve failed to perform a proper glissando effect with dx10 but controlled the “vibrato” through Renoise’s Instr. Automation meta device.

I didn’t know you could control vsti’s with a device, that would have made things a bit easier. I learn new things all the time. ^_^
I’ve been playing with this formant filter of yours all day now and i ended up making a new filter thingy based on it, i posted it in your Easy Formants thread. :)/>
