Re: One Synth Challenge #7- 2022 Edition
Oh come on now. You really think number is my sort of thing? If I contributed it would be far more likely to be number or possibly number.
Besides which I said I was going to try to produce a track without Yoshimi (and have 5 other synths).
Sheesh!

Re: One Synth Challenge #7- 2022 Edition
Ok, it appears I missed the pertinent detail "4" in my post.
I know you were doing a non-Yoshimi entry but as we have more entries than entrants I wondered if you'd sneaked in a bonus one as well.
I've had these on in the background today but I'm going to have to give them all a much more thorough listen later as there's so much happening in the details.

+1, this is a gem.
I love track #8 too, been trying to figure out the words...

Yes. That really grabbed me too... And an excellent choice as the last one in the list.
Quite a few people contributed who's style I'm not familiar with, and surprised Drew has joined in - always thought of him as a real+voice sort of guy.
I'm not helped by the fact I've no experience of most of the synths either
I'm guessing Roland JDXi for track 8

Re: One Synth Challenge #7- 2022 Edition
Oops. Lack of attention on my part
A pure guess. Bob Bickerton for track 14.

Re: One Synth Challenge #7- 2022 Edition
You were very defensive of track 4 previously [with a mental block on writing "4"] and now you mention "forth". For those spurious reasons alone, ill put you down for track 4, with the SC55, in the garden.
It is tempting to go for that as well but words like "Synthesizer" & "Analogue"
are on the Arturia Micro Freak vocal oscillator word set.
but "Winter" isnt.
Hmmm.
Ill go for it
Track 8:Arturia Micro Freak
Track 4:Roland SC55.

There have been two correct instrument guesses so far, but naturally I'm not going to tell you which ones

You're supposed to make an echo-y scary laugh when you say that

Hmmm. track 10 BJG145 Yoshimi + external percussion. That bass is a dead ringer for Steel Bass.

Re: One Synth Challenge #7- 2022 Edition
I'm really not considering this as a listener's challenge, but instead, the perfect opportunity to hear some excellent examples of just what a batch of 'unknown' synths can do, without having any preconceptions such as "ah, this is made by Moog, so it will have a powerful bottom end and rich filter sweeps".
My favourites of the four I mentioned previously are now #6 (for its wonderful huffy percussive sounds) and #14 (for that internal motion and edging in and out of overload), and I for one am most interested in finding out which synths they were created with, and of course who created them.

Re: One Synth Challenge #7- 2022 Edition
No 6 is indeed very interesting. Sounds like what you'd get from a group of 'alternatives' turning random bits of junk into musical instruments
Hmmm. I wonder if number 2 was done by the same person.
