You guys have some big ass bells in your mind making these. Bigger than mine. =L

These are kind of hard to compare as well, since they're good for different purposes. Aja's bells would sound great in some ancient Chinese mountain monastery, and Jason's bells aren't all that realistic but would really set the mood in some kind of surreal cyberpunk setting, like you know some kind of wicked AI ritual is about to begin when those bells start going off. Honestly I'm happy just listening to what people come up with anyway.

Well, moving along down the list I guess, here's my interpretation of a monophonic drone. (It's low end is pretty fat so you probably don't want your speakers up too much.)

I drew a wave that looks like a spiky crown, the envelope is opening & closing the filter on a loop, there's an LFO waving the pitch about .20 cents every 2 seconds, and I'm running it through a 3x delay at the end (Hmm... I interpreted monophonic as just using one voice, but it's just now occurring to me that a delay is going to be re-triggering it on top of itself, so maybe that doesn't count & I've DQ'd myself? Well, I kind of like this sound anyway.)

On the side, I stuck it through a "cloud granulizer" and this came out.
Almost sounds like an alien lecturing someone.

Great bells everyone. This is fun. I'm working stupid long hours this week, but I'l try to get my drone in later on.



It's a good sound, nice and thick and fuzzy. I think a little bit of delay overlap isn't disqualifying ;)

Polymod is cheating. :D Damn it, I need to get around to getting a P6 and an OB-6 at some point don't I.

Monophonic drone: (https://soundcloud.com/dimedancing/july-8-monophonic-drone/s-X0zAkGw1e52?in=dimedancing/sets/ttlg-synth-contest/s-xPO4W7SMupH) Soundcloud link

Pretty basic; the Shapeshifter's osc 1 is set to a wavetable that contains the harmonic series. The second osc FMs and ring mods the first, and some slow LFOs modulate the amount of FM, the waveshape (which is what changes the note), and the depth of the ring mod. The whole thing into a low pass filter also modulated by an LFO, then into a reverb and delay, as all drones should be.

Aja - I'm getting a track not found message for your drone.
