Who needs the Oscars? Not us! The results of the first annual KVR Members New Year Survey are in, and they are very interesting! I've taken the liberty of listing the top 10 in each category.

Plug-in Synth/Sound Module of the Year
	Commercial Plug-in Synth/Sound Module of the Year This was a hard fought category - the top 3 were separated by only 8 votes but Stylus RMX was the ultimate victor, seeing off tough competition from z3ta+ and Reaktor.

	Free Plug-in Synth/Sound Module of the Year Crystal was a clear winner in this category polling nearly 3 times as many votes as the second placed Triangle II, with Synth1 a further 15 votes behind.

Plug-in Sampler/Sample Player of the Year
	Commercial Plug-in Sampler/Sample Player of the Year Kontakt was a runaway winner of the commercial Sampler of the year category, again polling over 3 times as many votes as the second placed SampleTank, which was just 12 votes ahead of Battery in third.

	Free Plug-in Sampler/Sample Player of the Year sfz was the most convincing winner of any category, with over 4 times as many votes as second placed DS-404 (which is free with a magazine, so maybe it shouldn't even be in this category...) which itself received nearly twice as many votes as Helios in third.

Plug-in Effect of the Year
	Commercial Plug-in Effect of the Year PSP took two of the top three effect of the year slots with Vintage Warmer taking pole position; incredibly, only 1 vote separated all three, with Guitar Rig and Nitro actually joint second!

	Free Plug-in Effect of the Year Luxonix' multi-effect LFX-1310 took top honors in the Free effects category, beating Blockfish by 35 votes with Retro Delay only 2 votes behind in third; in fact only 6 votes separated 2nd to 5th.

Overall Product of the Year
	Commercial Overall Product of the Year The big one! A surprising result, as it didn't win any of the other categories, but Image Line's FL Studio was chosen by KVR Members as their overall commercial product of the year, no doubt due to its flexibility and many uses. Live was 54 votes behind with energyXT slotting in at third place a further 44 votes behind that.

The results of the bonus question - How often do you visit KVR? - shows that most of you spend far too much time here to even think about using any of the plug-ins we love so much...
