Nice :s0221:

I need a proper challenge to explore a new synth properly

Just one thing...(maybe two...):

"What you may use in your song:

• Any Reason native and rack extension Effects and Utilities (no external plug-ins or hardware) "

Are Synchronous and Audiomatic considered as native? I have this cause PH give them free when I updated but this REs are still in the shop!

Question two: only one song for entrant?

Bye,
David

Hello David,

1.) The rules allow ALL effects and utilities, Reason native and Rack Extension alike.
2.) There are no limits to the number of entries per participant.

Good Luck!

Ok thanks!

My post got lost because of the transfer, so here it is again:

Here is my participation. In an Experimental style...

Mario and Sonic are on a boat, but the boat was Harlock.

Has part of this thread been lost in translation?!

Only two entries so far? Where's the Oberon love?!

Yeah, looks like a whole page or two has been lost? Poop

I just wrote to Brent about this. There are actually 5 songs submitted to the Soundcloud group so far and more should arrive now that the Vecto song challenge is closed.

Just got here to post this and it appears you beat me to it

Hope everyone enjoys it!

Cheers,
Alex

p.s. looking forward to seeing some more entries

this track take me time , hope you enjoy this one .

My effort here;



All sounds Oberon (including drums) with only stock devices used, no other RE's. A good bit of RV-7000 MK II & a little Echo. Didn't want to use too many effects or do too much processing. This was all about Oberon & it's sounds. Used mostly tweaked presets & a little of my own sounds.

Good news! The prizes for this song challenge have been increased from this:

1st place: Oberon and LeSpace
2nd place: Oberon
3rd place: LeSpace

To this:

1st place: Oberon, Noxious & Le Space
2nd place: Oberon & Noxious
3rd place: Oberon

Keep those songs coming for a chance to win these great devices.

Thank you Navi! Your Noxious Extension ReFill added to the prizes and also announced over at Reasonistas.

Are foley samples allowed? Samples like water textures I have recorded with my Zoom H4n.

I am better asking now before I'll get disqualified.

Yes, as long as it's not a "foley sample" of another synth....

Sweet And still got time to get a second entry in (that's allowed isn't it?).

also a question here about samples. samplers of noise swooshes, like riser noise sweeps you would hear in a build up of a track, are they allowed, or do they count as synth sounds?

Yes, this is allowed as long as it is not coming from another synth in Reason.
