Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Ok all, sounds like we have enough interest to make this worth doing, so 
here's all the details and guidelines:

- All songs must be entirely composed using a Command Station only (or 
P2500 for Steve), you may use a midi keyboard for note entry if you want 
to though.  NO computer sequencing, arps from external gear, or Karma 
functions allowed.  Only two tracks from each participant will be allowed.

- All songs must be 32 measures in TOTAL length (plus any reverb/delay 
tails), at a reasonable tempo (ie 65 - whatever BPM).  If you really need 
a tempo lower than this and have a good reason why, email me privately to 
discuss.  No half-tempo or time signature tricks (ie 2/4) to make that 32 
measures seem longer.  :)

- You are responsible for the hosting of your song, so doing an anonynmous 
contest is not possible.  I've been looking into trying to get a single 
site to host these on, but haven't had much luck finding something that 
would be easy for everyone to upload to (and I don't have the time to 
manage it anyway).  Hopefully depending on the number of entries and file 
sizes, we will also be able to host these in the files section of our 
yahoogroup, but Yahoo's bandwidth limitations on file downloads will 
prohibit us from using this as our primary storage space.  All MP3's 
should be encoded at 192kbps or less please.

- All songs will due on Friday, September 24th.  That gives you all PLENTY 
of time to submit something, and I do hope a lot of people participate. 
This is all just for fun, so there's no reason to be bashful if you're 
just getting started.  If nothing else, it's a great way to get feedback 
and ideas from others on things to improve on.  So you're really doing 
yourself a disservice by not participating.  ;p

- Voting will be via a standard Yahoo groups poll, with each voter picking 
the best track to vote for.  In the event of a tie, the songwriters in 
question will have 1 week to make changes to their songs, and then we'll 
have another vote off for just those two (or more) tracks.  If people want 
to add alternate categories for this contest, you're free to set up polls 
on your own, I just don't want to manage this.

- Once your track is completed, send me an email with the address where 
people can download it, your name (email and real), and the song title.

That's it, if I'm forgetting anything, let me know!  Have fun and get to 
workm, it's only 32 measures, so make 'em count!
