Thanks Fabrizio! A minimoog-V remix is a good idea. I don't think there are rules against that sort of thing, are there?

There is: "Your entry must be composed specifically for this contest"

Hmm.. I would rather see that rule as "this entry must be released specifically for this contest", as in not reuse previously released materials (used in other contests, or for whatever reasons).

...just because I see covers are allowed... why wouldn't he be allowed to do a cover over himself?

(Just saying.... don't want to start a never-ending discussion

, or to disregard the rules in any way)

@Fabrizio: many thanks for your vote

Jackoo, yes, I was also interpreting that rule as you did, but it's ok. I think I will do the remix but not as an OSC submission. I'm already working on something else for Minimoog-V OSC anyway

Yes the cover rule is a loophole like pointed out, maybe the rule needs to rewritten like you say Jackoo.

I see it as more of a subtle technical distinction than a loophole. For instance, if one were to take a track previously used, completely re-engineer all the voices for the new synth, then completely rerecord all the tracks (DO NOT use the same MIDI data), it would be a cover, but not a 'remix'. I interpret the rules as signifying a "remake" along these lines would be fine, but a "remix" - i.e. reusing any previous material such as note or automation data - would be forbidden.

Hey, I like your interpretation dwringer. V'ger, others, what do you guys think? Should we clarify the rules in that way?

Make sense to me

If I composed a track for OSC-XX and now wants to use the same track in OSC-YY. Except that I would be using the synth selected for OSC-YY. What's wrong with that?
It's I who composed it in the first place, so how does it matter? It's a synth challenge anyway not a composition contest. If my track sounds good on Synth X and on Synth Y too then it's all the more better.
I am just trying to get my head around with this rule, that's all.

Well... What does it mean syntch challenge, is it only about sound design or maybe only about composition?
What are sounds without composition and what is composition without sounds?
If you think, composition is not so important, just record your sounds without composition and wait for voting.

satYatunes · Post by **satYatunes** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 8:50 pm

I understand what you are saying about composition and sound design. But you certainly missed my point. What I am saying is, why an older track specifically composed for one OSC cannot be reused in another OSC. The composer is same. Does it have to be a new composition? For example, lets say one of the old track is sounding much better in the current synth so can it not be submitted again? The submitter has to do the sound design, etc. in the new synth anyway.
