This is the first time I'm even thinking about joining a contest. Not doing it to win, but for fun, and to learn (gain experience). We'll see, maybe I will finish in time :)

Anyway I have a question. No other instrument plugins other than SynthMaster is allowed, I get that. But I was thinking about one ore more instances of MicroTonic, which is more of a drum/percussion machine. As drums were allowed from other sources, would MicroTonic be allowed as well (I have been using a few percussion sounds from it so far)? If no, would it be allowed if I sampled the percussion sounds?

^I guess that uTonic would be allowed, it specifies within the rules...

I also recommend you take a look at Synthmaster too, there are quite a few gems for drums/perc :P

Yep, you can use that!

Key Velocity Problem

I'm using synthmaster 2.7.6 and am having trouble setting velocity. I have set the voice of the layer to respond to midi key velocity and turned the influence knob to a value, but I get the same loud non-terminating note no matter how I press the key. There is no release on the note envelope, so it's just not terminating correctly. I'm using FL Studio 11, and I've set the "send note off velocity" tab in the wrapper. The other notes don't cut off so eventually it spikes the cpu if I don't hit the noise stop on my daw. I don't believe I'm doing it correctly. Possibly there is a simpler way?

I posted this in the kvraudio kv331 forum a short while ago, but it looks like more people might see it here. Thanks for any assistance.

As we stated in the user manual, do NOT assign + modulation to layer voice parameter. Otherwise the voice will never terminate. assign midi velocity to ADSR Envelope 1 amount as + modulation. Thanks!

Thank you. I read the 2.7.6 manual. It wasn't obvious to me and wasn't mentioned in any of the few entries regarding midi velocity, and since I didn't find anything directly addressing this I used a patch with keyboard velocity enabled -> Nori Ubukata - Sounds of the World -> Indian Santoor as a model. I have the latest synthmaster version on another pc. This one has XP 32 bit on it and can't host the latest version. Hopefully, the new one addresses this a little better for someone (like me) who might be a little dense regarding this.

Is it ok to use plug-ins or tools to process our submission? (reverb, EQ, fade-in, etc) Do we retain the rights to our song?

Post

They're letting you use external vst effects. Not sure on the rights/permissions thing.

Now that I'm almost finished with my entry, I should ask: how does one "submit to KVR" exactly? I understand everything about submitting the song through your contact form. This however has nothing to do with KVR's site. Are we meant to post it here somewhere as well? I just want to make sure I'm not missing any steps.

you'll probably find most answers in the 1st post! :)

Whoops. I completely misread the original post. I thought that first sentence read "The song links should be submitted to KVR Audio". Thanks for pointing that out.
