Got my **** together and made this, using 8 instances of Expanse and a whole bunch of effects (and Kong for drums).

Hope you all like it! Expanse is a really sweet plugin.

So things like this are fine....

Finally got some free time to play with Expanse, a very complete synth, congrats Blamsoft. Here is my entry, done in a couple hours using mostly presets. No masterpiece, but had to give it a go.

Possibly dumb question, but can we enter more than one song, or is it one entry per person?

I just want to be safe and ask since I am still a little unsure: are mastering and EQ RE's allowed such as ReQ, Softube Saturation, Cakewalk RE-2A etc?

Yes.

In the rules it says you may use:
"Any Reason native and rack extension Effects and Utilities"

Oh wow, I wish I'd known that when I was working my songs! I spent a good amount of effort trying to make the stock Reason compressor/eq/maximizer combo sound good everywhere (though the SSL compressor is actually pretty decent). The synth itself sounds great, of course.

Hi Guys,
Expanse is, with out a doubt a power house of a synthesizer. I had great fun working with it.
My computer couldn't handle it though. I guess its time for an upgrade :)
Here is my entry for the competition.
For the first time I worked with vocals (my friend who is an amateur singer did the vocals)
Thanks Noel G. and Blamsoft for this wonderful opportunity. All the best to all the contestants. Enjoy :D

With 66 entries and counting, it looks like it will take some time to pick winners. I wonder if the introductory price will be extended to allow the non-winners to take advantage of the sale. There are some great entries in this challenge, so I feel I need to have a trigger finger on the BUY button just in case. ;-)

To answer your question:
Blamsoft wrote:I'll wait until a day or two after the results are published to end the introductory price. That way you can still pick it up at the introductory price if you don't win it.
