I heard a collection of samples and sounds from various sources to build a track from.
Battle 81’s Sample Challenge, as bizarre as it is. 4 tape tracks, just shy of 3 minutes long & several OP-1 Drum Patches ranging from well, drums…to chopped vinyl samples, as well as instrument recordings. magic. details and sounds below.
alternatively, find a Sample Challenge on social media that you want to use for your entry.
if you take this second opportunity, I challenge you to submit your entry both RIGHT HERE, but also in the sample challenge you want to explore. if you take the Social Media route, please post the challenge you intend to try, so others might hear about it as an option.
OP-1 Battle no. 81 Entry Rules:
- feature samples from the Sample Challenge in your track, whichever source they come from. duh.
- share Sample Challenge source, if from an alternative challenge
- use your OP-1 for building your Submission, and Record to Tape / Album
- DAW not allowed for tracking or recording purposes, but if you have a mastering workflow for Vibe. EQ, Limiters / Compression…
TE has sold dozens of these OP-1s. who knows what the real number is (besides some peeps at TE, of course). Make your own rules, but still play along.
OP-1 Battle no. 81 Enhancements:
- using a supplemental sound source or effect is ok, but this is a Sample Challenge meaning that the sample is what should shine in your submission
- multiple submissions encouraged, including from a range of sample challenges
- got some real dope samples to share? start a sample challenge of your own and let us know how to get at it
- if you win a social media based Sample challenge before this contest concludes, you will get an extra vote in the polling
go ahead and try.
