Ok so I feel like I need a little challenge, just for fun to try something different. And I would like to include some external influense from you guys this time.
This is a list of synths I feel inspired to use. Help me pick 3 synths from the list to make a song with.
The plan is to make 3 short songs. They are all goin to use a different set of 3 synths, so I'll pick from the different suggestions from different folks in the comments. I'll keep the thread open for a while and eventually choose the suggestions I feel most inspired by.
VK-1
Vk-2
Snakebite
Megasaur
Champagne SuperNova
JPS Harmonic Synthesizer
Rostnomo
Loquelic Iteritas Percido
Basimilus Iteritas
Manis Iteritas
FM4
Scenic
Parsec
Red70
Ivoks
Resonans
Oberon

Thanks for the suggestion. Haven't used Vk-2 at all yet, just bought it. So that one would nice to include in the project. Haven't used Parsec enough either.

Ok so I think I have enough of Vk-2 and FM4 suggestions for now. These have been suggested 3 times already so I'll pick one alternative where Vk-2 and FM4 is included.
Now I need some other combinations/synths other than Vk-2 and FM4 for the other 2 tracks. Thanks.

Thanks. They're all synths I've used a little bit but haven't fully explored.

Yep. I can see Ivoks and Megasaur together pretty easily, but Resonans really sticks out among them. Can't decide if that's a good or bad thing. Haven't decided what suggestions I'll pick yet. I'll wait until I get a couple more I think.Zac wrote: β23 Jun 2020I thought it might be a challenging comboTritoneAddiction wrote: β23 Jun 2020

hello,
i'd go with
Megasaur
Champagne SuperNova
JPS Harmonic Synthesizer
i have never used all 3 together
but i do really like the sounds of each separately
have you decided on using any 'players'?
are vsts allowed?
thoughts on drums?
i just got done with a pizza challenge with my family and friends (7 chefs)
and a dessert challenge for my brother (7 chefs)
i lost both times
but did up my cooking game
this sounds like a cool thing to do
it will be neat to see how things evolve
cheers,
j

Thanks. The only VST I use is for mixing/mastering purposes which is fine with me. Drums and players I'll use whatever I want.littlejam wrote: β23 Jun 2020hello,

Yes challenges can be fun and inspiring and a way to break old habits.
It's gonna be hard picking from all these suggestions. Who knows, if I feel like this project stiil feels fun after 3 tracks I might choose more songs from all these synth suggestions I've gotten. We'll see. One step at a time.

Yeah I've thought about this myself sometimes. So far I've only used these synths sporadically together with other synths.MannequinRaces wrote: β23 Jun 2020Iβd like to see what you come up with the Noise Engineering stuff!
So if I understand correctly your suggestion is that I should pick all 3 from Noise Engineering then?

Thanks for everybodies reponses. Really appreciate it. After some thinking and going back and forth between all the different suggestions I've chosen to go with these three. Might try the other synth combinations later as well. We'll see.
Basimilus Iteritas
Manis Iteritas
Like I said I've thought about making a track with only these 3 before but never gotten around to actually do it. I guess it's time.
Thanks again guys.
I might post the tracks here once the songs are finished, in case someone is interested.
Vk-2 and FM4 was mentioned three times so that was a given. I think together with Oberon, these 3 will work great as a combo. I've already started working on a track for this one.
Just looking at this combo I know I'm gonna have some fun. This one was an obvious choice as soon as I saw it.

I've been working pretty hard on my VK-2/FM4/Oberon track lately. Things are coming together. Not too much left to do on the song now.
Having these synth suggestions was a refreshing idea. Glad I reached out.
