Great idea. Perhaps with a companion patch "Inokulated"

Congratulations to the Shortbus and Timo, and thanks to all for the inspiration!

Graindance: Timo [Graindance mp3] [patch] (Virus Indigo mk1)

A very close running competition all the way through. A really amazing and diverse set of patches, well done to everyone who entered.

Again all of the patches entered (Graindance & Plasmatron) are compiled into one bank and are available for download here: [Graindance & Plasmatron Bank] (right-click, "Save as..")

Shortbus, if you want to PM myself I'll pass your details onto Marc in order to receive your prize. Well done.

Massive thanks to everyone who entered and voted. Hopefully we can do this again at some point, or make it into a regular event? Post your thoughts!

Yes can we do it again, I wished I'd entered! Unfortunately the wife has been ill in hospital so I missed it

do this again = great! but only when we have a good name-idea to start with, let's not make it a "regular" event without pathos. and btw, we're not giving away too many t-shirts, aren't we?

congratulations to the winners anyway. cheerz guys

[brambos]

Yeah.. great stuff.

I think we should do this again (not too often, because we might get competition-fatigue, but just frequently enough to keep us on our toes).

Hopefully next time even more people will feel inspired/confident enough to join.

Meanwhile I'll be enjoying my new Graindance/Plasmatron bank with lots of really usable new patches!

Thanks guys - and congratulations Timo and Shortbus, two well-deserved victories!

+1 More sound design contests.

I'm looking forward to crafting an entry. Monthly or Quarterly?

Contests could follow a theme, such as the names Infekted and Inokulated mentioned above, or use of a specific feature, like best patch using the new tape delay effect, or other themed ideas.

Perhaps we should start a thread on future contest theme ideas?

[Ceri JC]

Congratulations all, two very deserving winners there. Great sounds!

+1. I think we should first have a bit of a brainstorm (there's a patch name ), to determine different themes/ideas for future competitions and then periodically pick one of those for people to do. I don't think it should be too frequent (perhaps quarterly) as I can imagine that otherwise after a couple, people will lose interest and the numbers of submissions will drop.

Perhaps the previous winner could have the final say in the theme for the next one, once people have had a chance to make suggestions?

I haven't been on the forum in too long and I missed the vote. But just so they know HiEnergy was my fav! Awesome work.
