RX1200 Beatmaking Competition

Inphonik and ReasonTalk proudly call all artists for the RX1200 Beatmaking Competition!

The challenge is to make a track with only one instance of the RX1200 12-bit Sampler Instrument and to use its Factory Collection (900+ samples sorted as kick, snare, hi-hats, bass, etc.) as the only sound material. Songs will be judged on the artists’ ability to craft complex compositions and arrangements with the RX1200. Artists can use audio and CV routings to take advantage of the 8 aux audio outputs and the full set of CV inputs of the RX1200 and Reason’s natural cabling possibilities.
