You might want to be specific about which FX modules can be used, as you might not want people to use VCF filters or others in the FX mod grid.

xh3rv,

Okay, made it sticky!

You might want to ad a link to acesynth.com as a prize for the winner!

Release date will be shortly after the comp is finished I guess, but that doesn't really matter, does it?

Cheers,

Urs

P.S.: The orange cable will be less edgy by then!

No - I say keep the rules as simple as possible.

Wow! That looks great. Incentive, indeed. Thanks for the prizes Urs.

Actually it was more of a question, which requires more of an answer.
So does NO mean we can't use vcf's in the FX slots, or does NO mean we can?

The rule is up to 3 modules in the fx grid. Specifically excluding particular modules would unnecessarily complicate things; and modifying or adding extra rules after the official announcement probably isn't such a good idea.

...

And the prize looks amazing! I'll certainly be giving this contest my best shot.

There are cases like, LP 6db mode filter probably isn't wrong for this challenge, or a filter on delays / reverb to add more separation between dry / wet signal I don't think is wrong. I feel like people will understand the intent of the contest and won't break it, bending it just a little with non-XMF filters might be worth it in terms of the sound of the patches in the end.

Anyone constructing a patch for this challenge shouldn't have to worry about whether what they're doing is 'legit' while in a more creative state of mind. That's what sold me on just having a limit on the number of FX when you suggested it.

Thanks, link added - this is the ms20-esque synth you've been hinting at? I have a schoolboy crush on the UI.

As the patches come flying in, could you send out a quick reply? "got it" would be enough; just to let the sender know it was received. Thanks!

Ya, I can do that. I'll probably check that e-mail more or less daily until it's closer to the deadline, so it might take a bit to confirm. I got yours

Looks like I'm joining this one. I finally installed Zebra again, on a terribly old computer, but still... it's able to handle one patch, if a little crackly at times!

I only now checked out the entries for the previous competitions, and I really liked them. I was also suprised how wide a variety of sounds there was, from soft to edgy, which is what finally convinced me to join myself

A side-effect of which is that I'm forcing myself to use more than just one sound-module, taking on the limitations in an inverse direction (1 or 2 sound-modules? How scandalously decadent!

). I'm even using two channels and three busses, which is uncommon for me.

Most of all I'm looking forward to the other entries, but I felt I should contribute to this one, and hopefully the next ones too!
