Re: One Synth Challenge #7- 2022 Edition
OK then...
1) Bonkers Bollywood, lovely track. I think this might be by the same hand as (3).
2) Starts with a "fizzing fuse" sound that reminds me of a sound in (5), so I think that might have the same synth.
6) Some kind of ethnic jam on 23rd Century junk instruments. I like that faux lead guitar sound; I thought this might be a guitar synth, but I don’t think there’s one in the list. Maybe a guitarist behind it though. Random thought just struck me - blinddrew.
8) Makes me smile this one, nicely done. Google tells me the JD-Xi has a vocoder so I’ll say that.
11) Lovely jazzy lead sequencing.
12) Texturetastic. Pigments…? Uses a ribbon surely. Who’s got a Hydrasynth in this comp?
13) There’s some vocoder-esque sounds in this which make me wonder if it’s the same person/synth as (8). Some of the progressions make me think this must be a classical buff; bits of it reminded me of Dvorak or something.
14) Great track, no idea who/what.
(The rest - well done! No clue though...)

Re: One Synth Challenge #7- 2022 Edition

Re: One Synth Challenge #7- 2022 Edition
previously when I said "winter" I of course meant "sequencer". Thats on the list
No12 : The imagery I got from that was ninja burglers creeping around doing their crime caper at night. Well done Mark

Re: One Synth Challenge #7- 2022 Edition
If it helps to narrow things down, the first and the last both use the same synth, also both of mine use the same synth.

Re: One Synth Challenge #7- 2022 Edition
I rather expected folks would pick up on number 4 - it does rather stand out
However I'm very pleased nobody got me for 13.
Seeing the names for the rest just demonstrates I don't have a clue about other peoples preferred style - either that or lots of you were flying false flags!

Sadly, I'm so at the edge of the grid I can barely get a text out, back Sat. Sorry to miss the fun!

"The Best" piece of gear is subjective.
Re: One Synth Challenge #7- 2022 Edition
I’ve really enjoyed listening to this, and my wife has too. There’s actually a real flow to the variety and some beautiful work. It shows that in a mix and with great ideas the analog vs digital/ hardware vs software is completely academic. If it works it works. Anyway here’s my guesses I take my hat off to whomever knew the spoken words in the vocal oscillator on the microfreak!
1 sub 37,
2 rocket
3sc55, piano sound and stabs
4jdx8
5minilogue, lovely build this.
6eimagine, lovely percussive elements
7minilogue, that’s a nice bass!
8 microfreak - correct!
9jdx8i, it’s the E piano made me go for this
10 yoshimi previously owned up!
11pigments that’s a wide palette of sounds! Nice work
12yoshimi. Mmm nice
13 106, there’s some lovely shimmers in this. V relaxing had this on after having blood taken at GPS and found it just the ticket!
14 sub 37 having a paraphonic moment ….possibly. I think I heard a lovely resonance filter drop, so hmm, Moog!
I know I’m miles off so just smile indulgently Rich!
And once again thanks for providing the Impetus for us!

You've got roughly half right I think (I haven't got the list in front of me right now).

Re: One Synth Challenge #7- 2022 Edition
My thanks to everyone that contributed, and to Rich especially for his work.
The three tracks I liked best for sounds turn out to be the same synth, one which I bought fairly recently. Arturia had a $49 offer for Pigments. I loved the demos, bought it, but haven't even had time to launch it yet. That time will now be soon! Thanks again everybody.

Re: One Synth Challenge #7- 2022 Edition
Yes, well done contributors & thanks Rich for puting it together, the "album" flows very well.
I shall be still be listening to that for a while, armed with the knowledge of whats been used.
Re: One Synth Challenge #7- 2022 Edition
No need to thank me for the sequencing, that was the exact order in which they were submitted, so you did it yourselves
