The Omnisphere Remix Contest allowed registered virtual instrument users to created their own music using a set of special loops that Spectrasonics crafted from their new, highly anticipated Omnisphere Power Synth. The contest soundset of 45 new loops were created using only Omnisphere and offer up just a little taste of some of the unique sounds and rhythmic capabilities of the new virtual synth. All Spectrasonics registered users were able download the soundset, enter the contest, and submit their tracks.
Initially, only three winners were going to be chosen, but Spectrasonics felt that the music entries were so outstanding that they decided to expand the competition to eleven distinct awards. The winning tracks can now be heard at the contest web page. Short descriptions describing each piece of music are also posted there. All eleven contest winners will receive a free copy of Omnisphere when it is released on September 15, 2008.
