I am very excited to announce the launch of “The Unfinished u-he Synth Contest”, a music production contest in which you can win some great sounds and plugins.
Update: the contest is now over and the contest pack is no longer available.
For this competition, composer and sound designer Matt Bowdler of The Unfinished has made 20 patches for each of the following u-he synths: Bazille, Diva, Podolski, Tyrell N6, Zebra 2 and Zebralette.
To enter, you need to use some of these 120 sounds in your composition. Besides this restriction, you are completely free to do any genre of music and use any tools, sounds and whatever else you like.
Download the contest pack below, and remember that Podolski, Tyrell N6 and Zebralette are free synths. So even if you don’t have any u-he plugins yet, you can pick up those free ones at http://www.u-he.com/ and join the contest.
So what can you win?
We have a wonderful set of prizes, including The Unfinished synth soundsets and bundles, u-he plugin licenses and an exclusive, bespoke The Unfinished synth soundset for the u-he synth of your choice!
