Contest!

Yes, finally a taker!  It's all just for fun, so I hope people aren't 
going to do it because they're afraid of some critisms or something.  It 
gives everyone a chance to hear what you're doing on the same box, offer 
advice, get ideas, and generally (hopefully) have fun.  With enough 
submission, we may even be able to persuade to Emu to offer up a small 
prize and or judge the entrants (though I haven't asked them yet, doh!). 
C'mon, some one else wants to compete no?


rEalm




BTW- I liked your idea about posting annonymous works
up and voting on them. Even though I am pretty far
down on the food chain as far doing all work on the
box by itself. Any other takers?

Alrighty then!  We're up to three people! 

I personally think multiple roms are fair, I want to use mine and it's 
still about how you use the machine that counts.  Anyone else care to 
comment on this one?

d0000000d, Using multiple ROMS would totally be allowed (I'm sure)!  You, SEAN, however, would not be allowed to participate until we had our new OS!  =)

So what are the ground rules? Are we talking about a piece which is
purely XL-7 - no external sound sources, no external effects, no
external sequencing? Are we allowed to multitrack audio?

Re: Contest!

2002-10-25 by nifflas

I have quite a lot experience of hosting music competitions. I've 
hosted my "Nifflas 30 sec competition" at www.nifflas.com and is 
about to host "Spectrum Music Competition 2003"... I'm also a host 
for one hour music competitions on IRC (Each artist gets the sample 
pack and should submit a complete song within an hour, based on the 
sample pack samples). Here's some advice I can give to you that will 
make it more simple to host a competition.

* A homepage is really important. At least a competition URL with 
information about the compo itself, how to submit the song. A compo 
(aka. competition) can not only be held at a "message board" like 
this, it will be too hard looking up the information you need. And 
how to tell a friend? Can't give him a whole bunch of rules. Better 
to give him an URL.

* There's no need to hurry. If you want to get like 20-30 entries, 
there has to be a quite long time to the deadline, after the official 
compo start. I started N3C in January, and set the deadline to March. 
Many people had time to find and read about the compo, and I got lots 
of nice entries.

* Maillist. Everyone who submits a song could automaticly become a 
member of a maillist, where you get information (not often at all) 
about what's happening to the competition (when the competition is 
over, the maillist should of course not exist anymore). If you decide 
to do it - keep in mind that you should not send a single mail to 
multiple e-mail adresses at the same time. Privacy is important to 
avoid chain letters and ads. Keep each persons e-mail adress secret 
to the other people.



I would join such a compo. Count me in. I might already have a song 
ready which is completley made with the XL-7, but this is if you 
allow multiple roms.

Re: Contest!

2002-10-25 by nifflas

Oh, by the way. I suggest that everything that can be done inside the 
XL-7 is ok... = no external gear at all. Then it will be more 
challanging to see what people can do with the XL-7 only.

Does that mean playing stuff on the pads only?

How does one prevent cheating?

MIDI keyboard should *of course* be allowed. After all it's just MIDI 
input. The limits should be that the XL-7 should generate all sound 
if we have such a limit in my opinion.

And I don't think anyone will cheat (what's the point?)... Let's 
trust each other =)

... so the mic'ed sound of, say, blowing raspberries on the unplugged* unit
itself is okay?

Contest!

2003-01-13 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

First of all I want to say thanx to all the people that were able to 
upload a song for the contest.  We actually had a few more entries than I 
thought we would, which is a very good thing.  The next phase will be for 
everyone to start downloading the tunes and listening to them, and then to 
pick your favorite tune.  Keep in mind that this is about the best song in 
terms of production, sounds, programming, etc, not necessarily your 
favorite song.  Try not to be put off by any tunes simply because they're 
not the style you normally listen to!  :)  You can download all of the 
tunes at:

http://EmuCS.iuma.com

Please keep in mind that IUMA will only display 10 songs on the main page 
at once, so you might need to click on the "Album 1" link above the song 
titles to get all of the songs.

Here's a list of all 12 songs that were submitted:

"Last Minute"
"El Verano Complicado"
"The Saints Of Saint Sloan"
"Drop n Change"
"No Emotion (A Bad Day)"
"Quantum Foam"
"How Things Crack (In A Purple Box Mix)"
"Composite Blue"
"Lumanescent"
"When Good Kartoons Go Bad"
"My Commute"
"WTF"

Once you have downloaded all of the songs and decided which ONE you think 
is the best, you can vote by going to:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xl7/surveys?id=11019184

Voting will conclude on Sunday, January 26th and I will announce the 
results on Monday, January 27th.  Hopefully then everyone can pipe in and 
say who did what tunes, as well as provide some information to the list on 
how they created it.  I'd also like to encourage everyone to take a second 
and write down your thoughts, questions or criticisms about each tune as 
you listen too.  That way, once the voting is over we can provide some 
feedback to everyone that worked so hard on getting a song up for the 
contest. 

OK, enough from me, let's start downloading and get those votes in!
