Well, you have a uber synth like Bazille and you use it to make a piano patch? What's the point, really? There are countless pianos in existence, countless piano sample packs, everyone has heard how a piano sounds like, there have been many synth patches emulating pianos (I remember a FabFilter contest), BUT where's the element of innovation in all that?hakey wrote:And though you may be right, making some kind of digital piano patch might not be too hard, that won't make much difference if people aren't even interested in making piano patches in the first place.
If you look at entries of any single ZPC/APC a good number will be pretty in-yer-face, electronicy, synthy type sounds - that seems to be the kind of thing that floats the boat of many Zebra/APC user. A "Piano" contest isn't likely to interest this crowd and so the numbers will be down - probably significantly.
Wouldn't it be better to strive for the unheard? I know this sounds cliched, but still. Give people complete freedom and later they will vote for the patch with the greatest "wow" factor. At least you will know what KVR people think is "wow"-worthy.
Anyways, half of the time for the competition has passed and you guys are still wondering what theme it should be about??? Makes no sense to me!
