The 7th One-Synth-Challenge! .... and our chosen synth is 'Felix!'
Anyone old enough to be familiar with the similarly named cartoon cat will know that it rhymes with 'fix', and 'bag of tricks', and will be humming that jolly little tune right about now!! (.... dont fight it, use it!
)Create a track using only Felix for all the sounds, including percussion!
Thanks to Kriminal for this creation! It really has sufficient character to rival its old cartoon namesake! .. its kinda black and white! ... and may also be responsible for the phrase 'Uh Oh' now and again!!
You can download Felix here.

********* RULES ( please read fully) **********
The track can be made in any host.
All the sounds in our tracks will be created by Felix.
Any type of effect may be used provided .....
* .... they are freeware and easily available via download. ( Fx native to your host, which do not satisfy these conditions, or cannot be used in other hosts, cannot be used. )
* .... they are not used in such a way as to transform the sounds to a degree
which makes them unrecognisable as those obtained from Felix..... otherwise
you will be named, shamed, blamed, tamed, maimed, flamed, perhaps even
framed! ( but you still might win a prize )
It's barely possible to give more accurate guidance re. how far you can push the above. All I can advise is that if you get away with it, its because you pushed the boundaries without pushing your luck!
*** There is no track length limit.
**** Finished tracks, in mp3 format, should be uploaded here ...

* Please post in this thread when you upload a track, that way I can prevent
abuse of this public folder. Anything uploaded without an accompanying post
here will be deleted.
For the sake of clarity, name your track in the following format ...
Title of Track - Artist Name
* Before you do that though, create a notepad/text file and describe briefly what you have used ( host, how many instances of Felix, which fx, how many instances.. etc. )
....... keep it short though, that way it can be read in preview mode without the need to be downloaded.
Save the notepad/text file as the title of your track, that way it will sit above or below the track itself when you upload it, and not get mixed up with any others. ( feel free to post or PM me if you have any problems uploading )
**** CLOSING DATE for submissions is 31st August!
A poll will be opened as soon as is practicable after this deadline, and voting will be open to all kvr members for a period of 7 days.
..... NOTE ..... Only tracks uploaded to the hosting folder allocated for this comp, before the closing date, accompanied by said info text file, will appear on the poll. Please do not post seperate, external links to tracks you wish to be included in the comp.
And the prize(s)? Rob_lee has generously donated a growing load of stuff I cant quite keep up with, for this and future comps.
I will come up with something you will hopefully enjoy playing around with and make your participation worthwhile, ....and ANY OTHER OFFERS OF PRIZES WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
I like to think though, and judging by the previous comps, that the biggest prize is the joy of participation, and the learning process ( despite the hairloss and skull inflicted damage to walls and furniture ) that comes with the challenge of stretching one synth to its limits.
So, nothing to lose ( other than hair, sleep and sanity
), and plenty of time! **** Good luck with those tracks! ...... and have fun!!! **** ----
