Ideas for the future: MIDIBOX COMPO!

[timofonic]

Hello,

I'm not sure if others said this idea, but here I go:

I see the MIDIBOX project has many possibilities and is underrated and underused. I think it must use some manners for incentiving the creation of audio content with MIDIBOX.

I think of a MIDIBOX compo, here are the rules I think for it:

- A year of lifetime, in the end of the year the 50 best compositions will get some very interesting gifts (so sponsors is very needed for this). The minimun number of compositions for the compo are 1000 compositions, if that number is not reached, the compositions will be merged to the next year compo.

- Only MIDIBOX synths can be used, not filters using computers programs or any kind of non-MIDIBOX synths (hardware of software). Midified stuff probably will be rejected. Original MIDI files and needed stuff (like sysex patchs) for reproducing them on other MIDIBOXes must be sended.

- There will be a category for each synth. Music using various synths at once will be on a category named "misc".

- Each category will win the same stuff. After that, there will be a "best of all" awards for the best projects of all categories, with a lot more important (in terms of price or interest  and oriented for MIDIBOX users) gift.

- All projects must have a Creative Commons license and must allow to being sampled and modified, in a GPL or BSD form (this must be considered, but those projects must be some kind of inspiration for future projects, so they must be copyleft and allowing modification and sampling).

- The number of participations is unlimited.

What do you think about this idea? First is needed some sponsors for the project, like some geeky universities, experimental music groups and studies...

Best regards,
