Yup, did the same. I think that's the most appropriate way of judging the patches.hakey wrote: I just played them by hand.

1. Hyperborea ........... - 3 points
2. Rhythmic Chatter ... - 2 points
3. Zyngk! ................. - 1 point
Theme: "Zebra - FM "
1. Tight, really like the timber dynamics and yeah, it does what it sais + MW takes the same road, great patch!
2. This might seem like a simple patch at first sight but it's pretty cool.
The patch info indicates: "Hold down a note and modulate away." but I always find myself playing 4-6 keys, normalised. Plus, it's one of those patches that makes you wanna tweak it a bit thus this also makes a great bread'n'butter patch. Like the name for this patch also!
3. Clean, clear, tight. I like the tone. A pinch of extra resolution would be better IMO. Had anyone held AT more than 5 secs on this?
More feedback on some other favorite patches after the voting stage.
Cheers!

And, Slinky's *ahem* input aside, I think that the discussions here are pretty healthy - they certainly suggest a level of interest and it's good to see that people are getting involved with choosing the theme and making suggestions for the next contest.
We could try putting the discussion in another thread, but it's likely that some folk wouldn't see it and so miss out on the conversation. Besides I wouldn't want to clutter up Urs' forum any more than necessary.

I just meant this is an active thread with a lot going on and I missed your post, thanks for bringing it to my attention.-

I absolutely hate making "which is better" decisions. It all just seems so linear, asif there is some Ultimate Musical Solution. I also believe I am a poor judge, in all honesty, but in the spirit of the contest here are my selections, mainly based on the ones I enjoyed playing with the most.
1 - Snowflakes
2 - Heaven
3 - Rhythmic Chatter
Looks like Snowflakes is a dead cert. It certainly is one of the most striking entries. Makes me think of the artist Ochre. There were a lot of excellent sounds here, though (including my own which I thought were pretty spiffy
), so everyone's a winner (as we all now have this free awesome bank of presets!).

In my opinion this has turned out some of the best quality presets to date and not a single one of you shouldn't be proud of your submission. I personally love these competitions just to hear the wide array of sounds the Zebra/Ace community makes. Thank you all!

My votes are for:
- Aqua Palace Pad (I'm a sucker for these nice, dense sounds).
- RoboPad (I thought the way it emphasised specific beats was clever and the instructions (always like patches that have the info fields filled in) about how to play it effectively were helpful).
- Demons Breath Bass (And I'm a sucker for some formant action).
