Is it allowed to use NNA to make a sound continue? so just one channel? or is it really monotome? and if i create a bass with an pumping beginning so it sounds like a bass and a basedrum in one, is that allowed? and what about appregio's?

it is a one voice compo, not one channel, so you cannot use NNA or any other technical tricks. Also, no drums or any other kind of arrangement should be used. The whole point of the compo is to write a melody that would stand out on it's own, without drums and production. Your tune should be a tune that could be written down to a score, like pictured on the site.

You can use arpeggios as long as you don't mean the Jxx effects, but just a sequence of notes. As for Jxx, I think you now understand that this cannot be written to a score. You can try to use Jxx for denoting chords if you like, but I think it would be simplier to use any other instrument for this.

we're starting to get first entries

[LPChip]

You might get one from me aswell. This is a challange that lies whitin my expertice.

[LPChip]

Is it allowed to use reverb to make the single sound more dense? It will not cause major overlapping of sounds, but might get this tiny fraction...

[Louigi Verona]

use reverb, but not delay.

[LPChip]

Cool. You can count on an entry with high value. (i hope)

[Louigi Verona]

remember that you can actually submit several tunes.

Does this mean ONE instrument as well as one note at a time?

[LPChip]

It means: One monotome melody with a possibility of using one 2nd voice for long notes to attenue chords.

[apple-joe]

Hm. So; one main melody of one sample - which may be harmonized by ONE other sample?

But except this, nothing else?

[speed-goddamn-focus]

Does it have to be an instrument?

[Sam_Zen]

A nice challenge, but : I like a more specific description of the 'one voice' concept.
Because a sample doesn't necessary has to mean a single tone of a sound, but a sample could also be a complete chord, a cluster of different sounds, or an instrument playing a 'riff' of several notes in time.
EDIT : I have placed an example of this use in the free music download section.

This is a very nice description!

I don't care what samples or instruments you use, just make sure that the resulting melody is monotone!
