Composing video game music with only one synth (Waldorf Blofeld)

Published on Dec 2, 2018 once upon a synth

"I attempt to compose music for an imaginary RPG video game called 'Super Synth Nerd'. I'm using only one synth for all the sounds. The synth is the Waldorf Blofeld which is a digital polyphonic synth which can do wavetable synthesis as well as traditional subtractive synthesis. #onesynthchallenge

I decided to approach this using a narrative story arc. So we start in a happy place, then the hero enters a tavern and gets assigned a mission. He then goes off on his adventure when suddenly he runs into a boss (a ghost). After beating the boss everything is good in the world. The End. lol... ok I had to keep it super generic and compact otherwise this would have taken too long.

The pixel art at the end of the video was drawn and animated with Hexels 3. This is my first attempt at making pixel art so go easy on me :)."
