Here's my first track for this contest. I spent way too much time on this one, but it was fun. Except for one factory redrum snare, all the sounds are generated by the VK-2. I was really impressed with the variety of sounds that synth is capable of.

Here's my track, the first non-generative song I've completed in years. I'm just happy to have finished it, to be honest. :)

Is it allowed to use drums, percussion loops and fx samples (e. g. kick drums, rizers, impacts) from external sample libraries, e. g. Vengeance?

It is allowed to use drum samples, see first post for details.


Here is my second entry:



23 instances of Viking 2. All sounds (including drums / percussion) are synthesized with VK2. No presets.

I'm always a bit confused by the wording of the rules. Can drum samples from a commercial refill be used, or not? (A commercial refill is not an external plugin but it's also not the FSB.)

Yes you may use 3rd party drum samples.

Hi Noel, would you be able to fix the link to my track in your opening post? It would be a shame not to have it inflicted on forum members' eardrums. :)
