Classic analogue Sparkle FX

Searched around for a specfic sound (exemplified by JMJ in Oxygene), which I would describe as Electronic Sparkle (could also be described with words like bubbles or wind-chime-like).

Found something like it in Synth 1 (from Daichi https://sites.google.com/site/synth1vst/home) and the patches for that by Electric Himalaya http://www.electric-himalaya.com/stuff/JMJsounds/

I will have to treat this rather raw soundset but I think it is usefull for my use.

The Jarre effect: Strings

So did a little research on the nice Flanger/phasing sound of Jean Micehl Jarre.
Here's what I gleaned from my research:
Used most prominently on Oxygene, it is in fact a phaser effect.
He used originally Small Stone Phasers (A guitar pedal).
Many have searched for VST plugins which could approach the effect:
Some mention the Kleistein phaser effect built into Reaktor.
Others mention Kjærhus Phaser.
I've downloaded som other phaser plugins and will report my favourite...

Well that took some time but I think my Favourite Jarre Phaser is the Kjærhus
(selected among SupaPhaser4, Sanford Phaser CM)

Fimbul - started a new project

Have started a new ambient/electronic project called Fimbul inspired by Winter and cold in general.
Now we'll have to see where I go with this - have some ideas and inspiration (which of course is important) now all I need is perseverance :-)

Entered OSC36

Over the weekend I entered the KVR OSC for the first time.
The entry is for the OSC36 (see here https://sites.google.com/site/kvrosc/osc-36)
Rules are (in brief) use just the one specified synth!

Funny to try that, when you're used to going to specific synths for your favourite sounds.
The results are... well... stranger than pineapples...
The resulting track is here:
