Hi Chaps.

This is my first attempt at building something in SM, however instead of the forgivable "please go easy, I'm a newb" scrawl, this is an invitation to anyone that's interested to have a go at ripping this thing apart 🙂

It's a 3 osc synth aimed solely at basslines with some fun overdive routing and dedicated sub for some surprisingly large results.

It's certainly on the rougher edge, mainly suited for Drum and Bass / Breaks / Electro etc. I'm going to offer it up commercially (for cheap), however I'll post all new versions of the OSMs for SM users.. without you lot, this wouldn't have been made in the first place. There's nothing unique in there that can't be found elsewhere other than the nice knobs and switches, which you're more than welcome to pilfer.

I'm sure there are a few things that can be tidied up / optimised, please let me know..

Download the OSM here Have a listen to it in action

The demo clip is pretty rough, spent about an hour knocking it together. It does however show off the synth rather nicely - all of the sounds other than the beats are from Valsier, with absolutely no external processing whatsoever other than a compressor on the breakbeats and run through T-Racks at the end. It's a bit fast and aggressive, but DnB is the best medium to show off with it 😈

Enjoy!

chackl - be my guest.. It would be nice to hear feedback on how well it sits in other people's music.

The OSM is fair game for anyone that has SM and is a member of this board - you're more than welcome to use it however you please (including exporting and using as a VST / exe).

The only thing I'd rather people didn't do is redistribute an exported dll as ideally I'd like to set up a little webshop for my creations. 🙂

Hi there, I was playing around with your synth this morning and realized the tempo knob's readout did not update when adjusted. I did some alteration so the value updates as it is changed. I am fairly new at this so most likely there is a better solution, but I am uploading a knob that would correct this.

Perhaps this is only a problem that I am having...

Edit: all you need it a redraw area in the label module...it is easier then I thought 🙂
