I voted. Took a while! Especially as I went back and re-checked the tops and bottoms of each band to make sure they were consistent with how I was perceiving them.

Just finished my voting too. A couple great tunes were there.

Voting in progress. Much more fun than I expected. Some tracks are really top production.

And I am very biased as I like some styles much more than others. Not objective at all. But good production gets 3-4 points from me anyway.

I vote for the music that is for my taste and not production value, doesn't matter if the production is good or not. Most imported for me when voting is the music.

Although, certainly you are welcome to vote however you choose, I respectfully disagree with your opinion. This is not a songwriting competition. This is a challenge to make the best track with a single synth. Which means to me that the sound design you achieve with the synth is an integral part of the competition. Songwriting definitely is an important part, too. As is overall mixing & mastering. All these factors go into 'the best' track. However, as noted, you're free to vote for what you like, if you feel that's the best way to vote.

Of course is this competition about making the best track with a single synth thats the whole point with the competition. But i think the music most be good to.

I am really bad expressing myself.

When i mean good music thats of course is the sound of the presets, good music for me is when there is good synth presets and music follows the synth sound, let the synth speak of the music.

Promised my patches earlier in this thread. Had to figure out it has to put into a bank. I did that recently. Don't let you wait longer.

Maybe someone finds it usefull.

While listening to some of the entries I figured... The JX-8P (or JX-10) must be the one used in the Travelling Matt sequences of Fraggle Rock!

OMG...

...the Fraggles?!

...so cute, haven't seen that in almost 3 decades, haha. And I think you might well be right!

Cute?! I think you mean terrifying. Fraggles are the stuff of nightmares, they haunted my childhood.

The dozers did!

Remember "The Dark Crystal" (still one of my all time favorite movies, haha). That was good stuff for some unsettling dreams. But somehow creatures never made my nightmares...I rather enjoy such visions.

Guys, perhaps i'm just late and you all already know this, but i've just discovered the quintessential of the 80's clichè ..... i'm in awe! The images, the colors, the music, the nonsense!

If you don't know what i'm talking about, take 30 minutes to watch:
