Your misson: be creative, make music with Reason using the Subtractor & Malström only as a sound source! It's not so easy, but possible, you can program a wide range of very interesting sounds, from drums to acoustic-like instruments…
Dive Deep Now…Go To The Bottom!

Although we make commercial refill CDs too, we believe that there are lot of undiscovered potentials in these instruments, so we think it is worth organizing a competiton like this.

Rules & Directions

• Every registered legal Reason user can join, and they have to compose songs only using Malström and Subtractors as a sound source in the music. You can use any effects and you can use Redrum for triggering Malström or Subtractor too.

• There are no restrictions as to genre, you can do anything that suits the requirements above. The completed song will be published in rps format.

• When entering a track, you agree that ReasonBanks.com can incorporate your music in the "SUBMA RINE music contest" - an rps file that will be available for download from our website.

• We accept no more than two pieces from each composer.

• The last date of submission is May 12 of 2003.

The Prizes

the first three composer will get the same prizes (we don't want to say: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, just the three best):

• 1 QUICKSILVER NNXT refill CD - the powerful & versatile synthesizer add-on for your favourite sampler ;-)

• 1 ANALOG NIGHT refill CD - the great Yamaha AN1X virtual analog synth refill from Eric, the ReasonFan

• 1 STRINGS refill from Propellerheads

• 1 'Replace Hardware' T-Shirt, (fancy and very special, you won't see it on anyone!) - from Propellerheads

• and (for proper carrying of all these things, :-)) the marvelous Reason Bag - yes, from Propellerheads again!

... and as a contribution of the German Electronic Attack info site, the 4th winner will receive an XXL Reason T-Shirt, and the 5th winner will get an XXL Recycle T-Shirt.
Thanks, Bernd!:)

The Jury

will be three of us: Raapie, Eric and Andras from PNS. We know it's not too democratic, but we have got bad experiences about voting by users. However, we promise to be as impartial as humanly possible!;-)

The announcement of the results will probably be on 22 May, and we will publish the list of all three members of the Jury (with the names of the first 10 winners).
