 Hello, Oscillator Sync here. One of my favourite things to do with a synth is to try and push it to do things beyond the scope of normal synth stuff. The Narrow Mono is a two oscillator analog mono synth with a built-in sequencer and while it can certainly do the 303 vibes in spades, if that's what you're after, it has a bunch of features both in terms of the synthesis on offer but also within its sequencer which beg you to take it out of that comfort zone. In a couple of previous videos I've talked about some of these features and applied them to, for example, turning it into a drum machine but during the course of making and editing that video I started wondering to myself, given all of these features and with maybe the help of a couple of pedals, is it possible to arrange a kind of live set using the mono as the sole synth? So that's what you're going to hear shortly. Five jams where the Narrow Mono is the only synth involved. In the interest of transparency, Naurand sent me the mono to make videos on but I haven't been paid otherwise and they've had no editorial input on the videos and they certainly didn't ask me to do something like this. It's a challenge that I've given to myself because I think this is a really cool synth. So with silly challenges like this we need to set out some rules so that I can be silly in a serious way. The only synth heard will be the mono and the only sequencing is coming from the synth itself. No external MIDI input at all. I am going to be allowing myself some time-based effects. So I've got the Plara reverb which is using various different algorithms depending on what suit of the jam and also I've got the flashback delay here which I've loaded in a tone print that I've created myself which removes the ability to use the delay knob as delay so you can only do tap tempo but instead now on the delay knob I have a filter on the delayed signal which allows me to do some sort of creative stuff which is quite nice and also the level control will push it into distortion past 12 o'clock which then is quite interactive with the filtering as well. I would offer to share this tone print with you but it's really difficult to export them as far as I can tell but if I work out how to do it I'll pop that in the description of the video. I'm not allowing myself to use any looping or any pedals which sort of create new sounds out of thin air so that means that things like the octrack and effects like microcosm are out of reach for this. I think it's a legitimate tactic to use in this challenge but it's just not what I wanted to do for this one in particular. I've also got the electronics platform compressor on the table which is doing sort of any sort of character compression that you hear during the jams mostly just using it to get a bit more impact from the kick and snare sounds that I'm creating and despite you seeing it hitting quite high gain reductions during the jams the effect is pretty subtle it's just kind of a nice thickening and a bit of an extra bit of attack. I have allowed myself the luxury of mastering the jams in the box so a normal mastering chain of EQ a little bit of saturation compression limiting is going on but I'm not doing anything that's sort of particularly extreme. I think I'm going to reflect on the process involved in putting these five jams together a little more in another video a little bit later so if you have any questions or anything you'd like me to try and cover then please let me know in the comments or if you're watching this on the premiere then in the live chat okay right here comes the music
