Spectrasonics has announced the beginning of a 10-week "Omnisphere Preview Remix Contest," where registered Spectrasonic users of Stylus RMX, Atmosphere, or Trilogy can create music using special loops that the company has created from its eagerly anticipated Omnisphere Power Synth. Three winners will be chosen in July to receive a free copy of Omnisphere when it is released on September 15, 2008. The contest soundset of 45 loops were created using only Omnisphere and offer up just a little taste of some of the unique sounds and rhythmic capabilities of this exciting new virtual instrument. The contest soundset is a free download and is available in Stylus RMX, REX2, and WAV file formats. All registered Spectrasonics users can download the soundset, enter the contest, and submit their tracks at the contest webpage.
Participants can enter as many tracks as they like, but can only win one prize in one of the three categories: Best Vocal Production, Best Instrumental Production, and Most Creative Production. The tracks will be judged by the Spectrasonics team and the three winners will be announced in July 2008.
