Virus is on my list, I have certainly done some tracks with it and thanks to the effects it sounds huge without much processing. Very inspiring, also done some stuff I would never do. Keep it up. Just to lazy to share atm.

I bought a TI2 just weeks ago, also amazed by the multiple uses. Lets see if I manage to make a tune on it though 
I guess external sequencing is also prohibited?
Imagine a built in Elektron style sequencer on the Virus! And a fader to morph between scenes\sounds… Is it cheating using a sampler?

Sure you can use a sequencer. In my case, the arpeggiator did fine in crafting some tracks. I do like using my Squarp Hapax with it. No need for any other synths but I do like my Rytm and Octatrack a lot.
…hey, u made a sampler sound like a synth…well done.

Ok, that makes it a little easier for me 
I used the Deluge yesterday to test out the TI2 multitimbral yesterday. Great fun!
Thanks! Yeah, definitely having a proclivity towards synthesis and it was fun to explore what the DT1 can do there. The DT2 almost is a form of simple synth as far as I see it. What’s fun about a sampler “synth” is that it can bring elements to the sound that just isn’t possible with a pure synth like the Syntakt. (And vice versa of course.)

I did that challenge with a song a few years ago. Actually it was with my first (and only a the time) hardware synth, the microvolt 3900 and my very first song with it.

Nooo! As long as the The sampler is just capturing the sound of the one instrument, just acting as a recording device. As long as the actual sounds sampled come from one synth/drum machine that’s cool. Same goes for overdubbing
but I would say that wouldn’t I!
Did you use the Rytm dvco and effects to get that eerie pad sound? That’s impressive!

What a great first song! The Microvolt 3900 was one cool little box.

Yeah, that is how I look at it too. It limits the sampler library “advantage” in this challenge.
I think more than half of all my music was made using only one instrument, whether is was the Machinedrum, an old Roland monosynth or whatever. I always found it more inspiring to work within limited constraints.
Here’s tune using only the Roland SH-5 analog monosynth for all sounds, sequenced with the Octatrack, multitracked and mixed in Live, and finally recorded to cassette.

Rytm is great, but it’s probably the filter with some envelope @Bunker. I used to use all the tracks, then I played around with the OB and didn’t have enough channels for deeper exploration. Now I switched it back to 16 bit and can use them all at once again and I disagree that you can overuse it. You can always delete what you did not like. Just a few thoughts in retrospect.
This is 100% Analog Keys:
Most of the other videos on my channel are also solo Analog Keys.

nice Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream type vibes!

The on / off band pass to normal filter cross mod destination on the OB6 seems a bit strange until you modulate it with the frequency of a keyboard tracked low frequency VCO2 to create this warbley delay thing that goes into weird fm bell things at the end of the keyboard range.
Nothing but one take on the OB6, no effects, not even the internal effects. Mostly just an oooh this is a nice preset I might actually save for once evening tonight, but saw this thread and so here’s a melodic fragment played using my no aftertouch not really made for this but it’s all I’ve got piano keyboard.

Recorded in stereo (actually directly to phone video over USB), a bit of eq and a limiter added in post.

Thank you for the kind words. It is indeed a good piece of gear, very inspirational.
Too easy, make a track using only 1 monophonic track. That’s a challenge.
