Neglected to say - voted. It's been an eye-opener. I thought I'd "fully explored" all the possibilities of this "limited synth" and all your tracks revealed to me how far off I was.

Voting done!

[Medniex]

Voted. Had many background listening sessions pretty early, but couldn't vote for every submission with one take, so only first half got some comments from me. Today I couldn't form proper sentences I'll try to give more feedback next round. Good luck everyone! This was really pleasant round to listen despite of some challenging bugs.

[EscapeControl]

Voted. It's already been said a few times before, but i think everyone who managed to submit a track this month deserves a round of applause

[Juergen]

Voted!
Good luck everybody!

Voted. A pretty good month with some nice pieces - especially considering the restraints of this synth.

[jasinski]

Voted!

So many sounds and atmospheres I liked this month. Maybe this buggy synth has indeed something in its sound (to my taste!) that leads you musicians to a consistency that makes (only me?) favorable to each of these tracks.

Well... just to say: voted. LOL

Ah, the 15th - I abandoned Kairatune this month, because I have some other projects that keep me busy. Must be my scattered brain and the attention span of a goldfish - but I'm always slightly disappointed when we reach mid-month and I realize that it's not New Synth Day!

OK, finally voted! (boy did I procrastinate on this one)
Some great stuff. Interesting balance of embracing this month's quirky synth and saying to hell with it I'm gonna do what I always do. Some good tracks from both camps.
Anyway it was humbling to listen to some of this and be forced to admit that it wasn't Rand it was me


Note to contest admins:
For some reason Jasinski's track shows up with no name and title on my score sheet. I did put it in a bin just the same but I thought I'd mention it in case it's a problem.
