please keep your submissions as one post per user
if you update a patch, please remove the previous version and place a date/time next to the update, so others know to try it again.

Reminder: patch must be self contained in one AXP file.

VOTING WILL BE ON THIS THREAD, it will be by a POLL created when the window opens.
you can try patches before voting begins, but please bare in mind patches may be updated.

Hope everyone has had fun patching, and theres still time if you haven't had time yet...
Im looking forward to trying the submissions :smile:

TIP:
you dont need to download patches to try them...simply
a) Right Click link in web browser, select 'Copy Link' (or whatever it is to copy links to clipboard in your browser)
b) In Axoloti, File menu - Open in URL , then paste the link , OK
c) hit LIVE :smile:

note: this does mean the 'link hit count' will not in increase on this website, so submitters don't assume the hit count is representative of the number of users trying, if they do the above, which is the easy' way it wont increase the count.

Voting window is now open, it will close on Friday 5th Feb 23:59 CET

I will then close the polls and total up the scores and announce the winner :smile:

There are two polls, one for overall winner the other for your second place.
you get 3 points for a winner vote, and 1 for a runner up,
In the case of a tie in points, the patch with most winner votes wins, if still tied, then its the patch that was submitted/list first.

Prize: praise, and wonder from us all, and the chance to select the next theme.

The winner, I ask please can you be ready to create a new theme for this month, as soon as possible after then 5th Feb, to allow as much time for patching as possible.
(You can use this months posts as a template... and adjust as you see fit)

Here is a short concept album I created with all the patches one after the other and some vocals.

#4

small patch from me...

whatif.axp (42.1 KB)

I'll try to update, once I can figure out the issues with presets... then do a small soundcloud or something :smile:

Polyphony example?
Polyphony without MIDI
Presets - how to tips?
#5

Here's my humble submission: Automobeep.

Probability-driven random notes and drum hits, 4 voices (drums, bass, beeps and space glissando), simple progression and random notes from a pentatonic scale. With the "More" dial the probability of notes and therefore the produced mayhem can be increased.

automobeep.axp (89.8 KB)

There's one ugly thing with this patch: The probability-trigger subpatches are copy and paste, because you cannot re-use one internal subpatch. These should actually be external subpatches with the same code base.

I'm envious of patches like mtyas' because of their experimental coolness and playfulness. Me, I always stick to the common melodic and rhythmic patterns - but, hey :smiley:

#6

Generative Sequence, tempo control and toggle button to make it more random.
Volume controls for each individual sound.

generative-sequence.axp (72.3 KB)

#7

Here's my submission. Only the second time creating something, but what better reason. 1 dial controls tempo and sequence direction while the other dial limits the number of steps and increases the chance of a random melody line being added. There is also a simple 3 part drum sampler with synthesized sounds.

The soundcloud link below has a recording of the patch, with each of the parts fading in.

#18
