HWJ Weekend Challenge - Bosch Triptych Inspiration (Hell) WIP

video upload by SynthAddict

"Used instruments depicted in the painting, slightly dark and mysterious.
Added some creepy synth bits for atmosphere.

WIP since I ran out of time to incorporate many other sounds elements I curated. May do a re-mix version later."

video upload by sonicstate

"GForce Software emulate the classic 1990s two oscillator subtractive synth from Novation which was introduced as a way to access the classic 303 sound which at the time was only available if you owned extremely expensive original . GForce have beefed up the original features, adding their unique XLFO and XADSR per parameter, effects and of course polyphony.

Currently free for owners of the LaunchKey MK4, FLKey and SL MK3, and on offer for £49 from the website."

"Luma-1 is an authentic recreation of the iconic LM-1, originally designed by Roger Linn in 1979 and now brought back by Joe Britt (check the creation story at Roger’s site). Fully recreating the original design of the LM-1, it utilizes the same audio path with the original vintage DACs and filters, runs the original LM-1 software, and adds a secondary modern processor for adding highly desirable features like loadable sounds, USB connectivity(USB MIDI Client and Host), MIDI and more."
