Groovebox Contest

2002-03-20 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

Basically groovebox refers to any piece of musical equipment designed for 
producing electronic music completely without the aid of external gear. 
The contest was originally started on the mc505 list (we have lots of fun 
contests), but we're opening it up to members of this list as well.  Sort 
of a healthy competition between rival boxes :)

So far any of the following are cool to use, although if you've got 
questions about using something else, feel free to ask, I'm sure I missed 
some:
Command Stations, mc505, mc307, mc303, EA-1, ER-1, EM-1, and RM1x.

We're not allowing any sampling boxes (sorry, no MPC's), as those would 
allow people to use computers, plug ins, other gear to tweak samples and 
then load them into the box, which defeats the purpose of this contest. 
Basically you must create a <7 minute track completely within the unit, by 
using song mode, or by recording the "performance" of a pattern.  The 
final recording cannot be mastered or touched up at all, only converted 
directly to a MP3 and uploaded to the contest site no later than April 
7th.

For all the details, check out the site at:

I personally think we could kick ass and take names, but we need to get 
some people to participate first!  There's a lot of people on this list, 
but everyone's so quiet!
