Ok, so question about the modulation sources.

Are patches to be of the live/performance type variety?

Personally, all my music is done with automation of parameters. So, you say we can only use mod wheel, and the 3 soft knobs... but in what context?

So should the audio demos be of just the patch playing, and a real time performance of tweaking the knobs, or can we automate those assigned knobs in our sequencer?

Also, should the mp3s be of just the patch, or could it be the patch with other elements (ie drums etc) to give it more context?

I think the MP3 should be just the patch (or maybe both patches if you think they fit together well). And maybe some manual twiddling of the soft-knobs and modwheel.. but I would say no automated parameter changes, otherwise you can do 3 total preset morphs in those 20 seconds

Compare it to the way commercial sound designers advertise their preset banks.

Yes, 100% Virus only, no external processing, as the votes will be on the merits of the actual patches themselves.

Let's say you can use a sequencer if you wish, but other than note, velocity and aftertouch, only the Pitch/Mod wheels and Definable knobs can be automated. So program and assign the definable knobs and mod-wheel to good effect (makes good practice, anyway!).

Remember you can also assign more than one destination to a single knob or wheel using the matrix, so there's plenty of flexibility.

Unleash the beast within!

no, that would put to many people off - but i got a riddle for you fanboys - what was the patch name in the display of the first TI pics and brochure and why should i have checked back with the oracle before choosing it?

cheers, marc

Timo. Count me in on both Plasmatron and Graindance. This sounds like a lot of fun.

I will of course dress my Virus up like a Casio before attempting the patches.

Im down for both

Tsunami, and then of course one occured for real (in the Indian ocean) not too long afterwards.

not bad at all sir, but that wasn't the exact patch name ...
