Hello Online Sequencer! It's time to announce the 2024 May Monthly Contest!

This month is a very special theme. It will be the second anniversary of the Backslash Minecraft server, and quite the interesting program has been set up over there. They've made an in-game sequence player that can convert sequences into a note block playable form! As such, this month's theme will be to create sequences that are the best sounding in this note block form!

Given the nature of this contest, please read the special information section below before entering.

• The pitches of notes will be clamped from F#4 to F#5, as that is the pitch range for note blocks.
  
• The range of different instruments is more limited, especially with the percussion instruments. An exact list has not been compiled yet.
  
• There are no sustained notes.
  
• No instrument settings will be read apart from volume and detune.
  
• BPM markers are also compatible.
  

• Join the backslash discord server, which is run by fox.
  
• Follow the steps there to be whitelisted to the Minecraft server.
  
• Once in the Minecraft server, simply run the command "/sequence <id>" to convert the sequence and listen to it in-game!

Hey everyone. Due to the somewhat stagnant nature of our moderator list (as many of us are busy in college), I will be re-opening the applications to invite some fresh faces to our team!

The requirements have not changed since the last time I've written this type of post, so I will copy paste some of the requirements from there. You can read my last application announcement over here.
