Happy anniversary month to OSC and to DoctorBob's unbroken record of submissions!
I've done a quick skim through this month's and last month's OSC discussions and haven't seen any mention of the Soundcloud problems that plagued the previous month (with messages disappearing, etc.) Is it safe to assume that their algorithm has since been fixed?
(Asking because I have an idea for this month's OSC, and I've used Surge and Surge XT before, but the days left are dwindling, and the real world is not cooperating in regard to making time available to create music!)

Song title: Just Found
Daw Ableton. 5x Surge XT
6 times RF-DSP For 4x compression, 4x EQ, 4x reverb, 2x chorus and 1 stereo enhancer.
All I have to say is it has been months since I've even looked at surge and it is just so incredible. I will without a doubt get more practice with it in the coming months.

44 instances Surge XT (clap) in Reaper 6.83
Lots of Raum and ReEQ
A bit of A1Triggergate, CocoaDelay,JS Saturation, TDR Kotelnikov and Nova, Bass Professor.
A1 Stereo Control, master_me and LoudMax.
Surge sounds way better than I remember back in 159.

I'm trying to use the Alternate modulator to switch the Scene pan left or right each time i play a note, but without any result.
Maybe i've not understood what it is?
Is it possible?
It was the rotary effect: it puts everything in the center, making the pan slider having no effect. Is it normal?

Here's my entry, after a long time:
https://soundcloud.com/fabiocalzolari/p ... 1-surge-xt
12 instances of Surge XT (7 just for the drums), with Surge XT Effects on the drums, TDR Nova on the kick and the bass, and the good ol' TLs Maximizer on the master channel.
The song is from an idea i had lying around from about a year, and Surge got me the inspiration to finish it.
I'm forced to "close" it as i don't have more free time, so i've not got a chance to listen it on the car (my usual mixing testbench): i hope it doesn't sound too bad.
Comments and critics are very very welcome, as always.

Yes the rotary effect - like a Leslie speaker - is a mono type thing (it collapses the input into a mono signal, splits it into frequency bands, and Doppler shifts some of the bands into the stereo field to make the rotary effect roughly. It does some other stuff too).

https://soundcloud.com/bottomleya/abot8 ... c181-surgeIn these rare moments where the air is light
It's easier to breathe the oxygen
And though my eyes are waning in the night
The clearness of my mind is mine again.
When I gaze upon your gemstone orbs
I see the riches of the universe;
Your fingers and their feathered touch transports
My soul to realms that rise above the earth.
Yet despite this call to greater majesty,
And though my heart does soar on eagles' wings,
I am yet grounded in simplicity;
My joy is built upon the smallest things
You make me laugh and smile and cry and sing;
My heart is filled with all these smallest things.
And somehow unbeknownst to me,
It is through these I touch infinity.
