thx Noel !

This synth drew my attention a lot !

[thotbott]

am loving the synth, just is there anyone from blamesoft here have a few questions about how to use the filters on it, mainly like how do you, am having trouble getting them to actually work on some patches

[thotbott]

never mind, found it in the matrix

[Benedict]

I'm in.

9 x Zero and 1 x Kong (drums).

So Noel,

A question on the prize pool. If I were to ask another user to mix my song, (Hey Benedict !), win a place, could I come to an agreement (beforehand) to give that person a few of the items in the prize pack ?

As a matter of point, this would not be an RE Transfer (clearly disallowed by Propellerhead), but rather a request from the winner that some licences be granted to one collaborator, and some to the other collaborator, when submitting the request to Propellerhead.

PS: Those RE's I would offer to another party (Hey Benedict !) would be Blamsoft's TooB Distortion, DC-9 Overdrive & & DC-1 Distortion (faithful renditions of 'classic' pedals)

Let me look into this and I'll come back with a response.

Good news. The winners may distribute the prize REs to any Propellerhead username(s) of their choice. Good luck!

I have a question, can I use the Reason native synth effects, i.e. can I route anything via Malström filters as example?

Yes, as long as Zero is the only sound source.

Thanks bro! Lets see what I can do - there's plenty of time to create something.

Are we allowed to use another synth if we only use a filter within the synth and no actual synth sound from the synth. (for example the formant filter in thor)

[turbopage]

I can use an orchestral library and some rex drum loop?

You cannot use the orchestra stuff but you can use Rex for drums and percussion

Yes

[Reasonistas]

Correct

[KnowKontrol]

hmm I don't usually do contest cause I know I don't compare to the masters here... but I am gonna give this a go anyway.

[RustyShakleforde]

Haven't taken part in anything like this before, look forward to it..

To clarify, I will use Zero for all synths (Pads, strings, leads, bass) - can use my own drum samples (yes?) Tracks must be processed with bundled reason utilities and effects including propeller-heads Re's?

So i cant use my Nucleus Soundlab Beat Crush?

Where it says "Recorded instruments and vocals" does this mean, say, a Rhodes Loop .REX from a refill?
Just wanted to check before i take any time to make something!

Cheers in advance!

Good luck everyone
