Crowdfunded contest with awards for best guitar-optimized mpe patches

if 50 mg3 users each chip in $50, we could offer a top prize of $1k, second place $750, and three third place awards of $250 for the best patches submitted.

probably that’s enough to get sound designers interested?

questions:
only funders can vote? limit the platform to surge xt? smaller/fewer prizes for monthly ‘best of’ instead of running a single contest? is there a web based solution for this type of crowdfunding?

your thoughts please.

Thats a great idea, and I can chip in the prices instead, but my guess is that we aren’t enough people yet…

Kimyo and JamO, I think the idea of a (possibly annual) competition is very good, but it is probably too early to start now.

  1. Apart from the few active insiders on the Mac/Win platforms, there is also a lack of wiki know how for broader participation.

  2. The progress of the program should also be mature enough for the MPE examples to be exemplary for future users.

  3. In this context, the implementation of MIDI machines in MG3 would of course be a great advantage in order to be able to show the applications in all their diversity.

Cool idea but probably further down the road :slight_smile:
