I'm not sure if u guys will be interested in doing this...but i was thinking...
we could pick 5 or 10 patches to use...and we all demonstrate how we would use that particular sound/patch in music....
i'm curious to know how you guys would interpret certain patches and sounds...and apply them to music..

I think this could be fun. But how would we select the patches?

[fornax]

We used to do this at a computer party in Norway (The Gathering www.gathering.org). We used Reason then. We had to download the patches from an ftp, and create a track from these sounds. We were not allowed to use other sounds. Only the patches from the FTP.
I guess we need the "basic" sounds. Leads, bass, pads and so on?

[nutrinoland]

we can just download any bank from the virus site and decide on which patch numbers and names...it will be common for all of us...no uploading hassles...

As a suggestion Nutrino' why don't you start with a simple selection of maybe 5 patches from the presets and upload them to rapidshare or a similar server. Post the link, people can download ,upload to soundcloud or similar and provide a time frame for submissions.
As long as they are not from other copyrighted soundbanks/patches being redistributed all should be fine

This would be a great promo for the Infekted Forum.

There was a Reason forum that put this challenge out years ago, you were only allowed to use the synths as sound-generators.
