Instruments • One Synth Challenge #179: Any One Synth

• Pick any one synth, commercial or freeware, software or hardware.
• Commercial FX are ALLOWED.
• As usual, follow the normal rules - aka no sampling, etc.

Welcome to the the One Synth Challenge:
It's a friendly music competition where you can win cool prizes but most importantly, meet amazing musicians, and learn a lot about mixing, sound design, and more!





Here's How It Works:

1. Download our synth of the month here
2. You make an awesome track before the 1st of next month using only the chosen synth and some effects *Rules Apply*
3. Announce your submission here on this thread, with proper details
4. At minimum, please mention # of instances of the synth, the DAW (Reaper, Ableton, etc), and all plugins.
5. Submit your soundcloud link here following the correct format for title, download enabled, and submission description. Your song will be picked up on the OSC player
6. Once submissions are over, the voting starts - you *MUST* vote to get a ranking or prize
7. The voting link will be posted on the 1st, and OP will be updated.
8. Maybe you win? You meet new friends? Learn something new?
9. Most importantly... have fun!
