Reason Studios Algoritm Song Competition

ReasonTalk and Reason Studios are proud to present the Algoritm Song Competition! Algoritm is the new FM synthesizer from Reason Studios capable of creating both iconic and modern FM sounds. It comes with nine operator slots, four types of operator modules (FM Operator, Filter, Shaper, Osc & Noise), flexible routing to create your own algorithms, built-in effects, a randomizer function to morph patches into new sounds, and over 250 expertly crafted patches! This is your chance to win it!

Rules

• Songs must be submitted via this Google Form.
• Only one entry per participant.
• No remixes or cover songs. Your work must be 100% original.
• Songs should be submitted by 23:59:59 PT on March 21, 2021 (before 12:00AM / 00:00 PT March 22, 2021).

• Be aware that we will ask you to provide the Reason project file to check for compliance to these rules. If you bounce to track, leave the original lane/device intact!
• If you use the Reason Rack Plugin in another DAW, all rules still apply. You cannot use other non-Reason plugins or built-in effects of your other DAW.

Submitting

• To submit your entry, please fill out this Google Form and include a streamable link to your song.
  • If you do not receive an email receipt for your entry, please send a private message to ReasonTalk in the ReasonTalk forum.
  • You are welcome to share your song in the ReasonTalk forum before the competition closes, but it is not a requirement.
  • We encourage you to use Soundcloud (so we can create a single playlist later featuring all of the songs), but this is also not a requirement.
  • Do not change the link to your song once you have submitted. That includes changing the visibility setting from public to private, or vice-versa!
• You agree to allow non-exclusive rights to Reason Studios to use your song, for instance, adding the song to the sound demos on the Algoritm Shop page. If you do not agree with this rule, please do not participate.
• Winners will be announced a few days after the competition ends.

Prizes
