One Synth Challenge VI : The Undiscovered PulseWidth

Post by Dave B »

Citizens Rejoice! It is that time again! Yes, as the winter nights drag on, what better time is there for :

A One Synth Challenge!!

You asked for it, you got it! I have created a new (hopefully) sticky thread above which has the rules (such as they are) and the results of previous challenges in case anyone is interested in what we've done before.

So let's think of an end date for submission : we usually have about 5 or 6 weeks so how about we make this a February challenge with the closing date of midnight Saturday the 6th March? Any objections?

If not, then let's get going!

Seemingly no longer an 'elderly'.
Now a 'Senior'. Is that promotion?

:clap: I'm in again - and might even do it in garage band - to make it even more uncomfortable! (I may go back on that - but as I sit here typing I think that would be cool having never used garageband - so a double win - a synth and a iOS daw!)

Now, does my sound card work........oops! - Maybe garage band for Mac! :bouncy:

Ummm, you're not supposed to tell up what you're using. Part of the idea is that we try to guess.
Notice I did say try:lol:

I have a synth on my phone that apparently has some kind of midi-input capability... :think:

If you can guess which DAW is being used, I salute you!

"The Best" piece of gear is subjective.

We'll see... logistics and (lack of) time have pushed my 'install the gear' date back a couple of times already but I certainly hope so!

Maybe the ONE SYNTH CHALLENGE needs a theme?
No I’m not volunteering as I would only do a rip off of the Star Trek Theme badly. You don’t want to offend a Trekkie, er, Trekker, er whatever.

I’m in! As for themes, we could use the Mastermind theme tune, ‘Approaching Menace’ by Neil Richardson:

That's fine, but personally I find I have to visualise the piece for a couple of weeks before I actually play anything.
