Voted. Some really interesting tracks. Even though we had free reign with some efx, I enjoyed the tracks that were more "true" to the K1v sound. But, as always, fun! And thanks BJ and Richard!

I have tried to comment on everyone's track, though I'm not very good at it.

Thanks to all those who stopped by to comment on my track.

I will say that the standard is high throughout I found listening most enjoyable.
Interesting too that with the rompler some fought to get away from its sound while others embraced it, all with good results imho. I also heard many examples of what sounded like very accomplished live performance. I feel like performance and composition took centre stage this month.

Oh hey I know I've been really vocal about my general dislike of the sound of this synth, but I wanted to say this was in no way meant to disparage the work of Nils Schneider, He did an amazing job giving us K1 to play with. It certainly happily took all the abuse I threw at it! Cheers Nils!

I agree the possibility of modifying the preset sampled sounds in a big way was not entirely possible within this synth, by design! However, using FX I was able to modify the sound enough to fit into the sound space I required and to do what all members of a band do, i.e. hone their sounds to fit what they want sonically, and also to fit the sound coming off stage to the audience (guided by their FOH man!).

In my case of course, I was every band "member" and, producer and FOH!!! Yes, maybe more punch here and there, more changes of timbre over time etc would be nice, but then, we start to get away from the idea of the synth to "emulate" some real hardware using its original sounds.

I enjoyed this round, mainly because we were fixed to some extent by the sounds, although many did mange to mangle the sounds (not sure how much within the synth!!) to produce some outstanding and interesting tracks.

Just a view from an oldie who remembers seeing Cream back in the days!!!!!!!!!! Re-living his teen years <sigh>

Congrats Vovaman - great funky winning work.

And the other winners - all excellent.

I'm delighted and surprised to score so high in this strong field of entries, I really thought the music was great all round.

(Richard - 0.889583333333333 is quite an amusing excel interpretation of the name of my track, 21:21

Crazy what can happen in a spreadsheet.
