Hello Online Sequencer! It's time to announce the 2020 December Monthly Contest!

Bear with me here, because this month's contest will require a few extra rules. This month's theme is to choose a picture and try to make a sequence that fits it! Make sure to post the picture with the entry. If you submit both entries in one post, be sure to specify which picture corresponds to which entry.

• You can create the image yourself if you desire.
  

• GIFs/Videos are not allowed; the picture must be a still image.
  

• Avoid overly unpleasant/grotesque imagery. It will also be restated here that no NSFW media is allowed.
  

• The picture cannot be of a sequence or any other musical work.
  

• The picture cannot be a character with the sequence being a theme of that character.
  

• The standard Online Sequencer Rules will apply and any pictures violating a rule will automatically be disqualified along with the entry.
  

• Entry limit of 2 sequences per person.
  

• Committee members are allowed to enter the contests, but will not enter their example sequence nor will they vote for their own entry.
  

• Sequences made prior to the current Monthly Contest are allowed, although entering the same sequence in different Monthly Contests is not. If you are unsure about whether or not you have entered a sequence in a previous monthly contest, a list of all the sequences that have been entered into previous monthly contests can be found here.

I'm not sure if this should be an explicit rule in the thread that Jacob updated today, but I feel it's best to discuss this problem in a separate thread.



While Online Sequencer is a great platform for making friends and establishing close relationships with them, please understand that this is a music-making site and that music should come first in the discussion.

I get that life can feel like it's out of your control and that you need friends to talk in order to overcome your problems. In the future, I recommend discussing these in private with another person through the chat whisper command (@name) or by using Forum PMs.

Do not make a habit of announcing your problems in public. While I hope you guys find supportive people on here, relaying your problems in public obligates everyone to respond to what you say. This causes a lot of unneeded tension between people who want to be helpful and people who would rather discuss something else.



I'd also like to make a formal apology on my behalf as a moderator. What's important to know is that people undergo different experiences to make them who they are now.

Understandably, not everyone can agree with the way I interact with others, but please don't take this personally. Many people (including me) don't have a lot of emotional patience and have different viewpoints on how to tackle a situation in real life.

At the end of the day, the moderators lean towards handling situations as efficiently as possible, even if it's unfair. It's ultimately our job to keep the chat as usable as possible and there are times that it's difficult to do this in a diplomatic fashion. Moving forward, I hope we can respect each other a little bit more and keep OS a realistic place.



Happy sequencing.

DEAR OS COMMUNITY,

As many of you know, Online Sequencer Convention 2023 was mentioned quite a lot in chat. My team and I are trying to plan many things, many ideas, budget certain things.

We have at least decided that the convention will be located in North America in either Canada or the US.

One major thing that we needed to know from you guys is that a location has to be chosen. If your location doesn't get chosen for the final decision, I'm sorry. In the form, there will be general regions. Please choose the region that most applies to you. 

Another major concern is that we want at least 1 of the planning committee to know the location in order to be able to strategically organize the place and we are not all lost. 

Please fill out the form as truthfully as you can. I doubt all of you want to end up in Alaska for the convention.

Thanks for helping us out and being an amazing member of this amazing site.

-Alex!

Mod, Online Sequencer Podcast Host, Leader of the Convention Committee, Treasurer

NEW SHOW IDEA: THE BLIND CHEF

There is the a user who is the mastermind, then there is another person who listens to the mastermind and does what he asks.

The mastermind cannot see the servant's  screen, but can hear the song being produced.

The servant has to listen to what ever the master says about the song and can contribute a little. However, they are only allowed to contribute vocaly 3 times.

At the end of 15 minutes of composition, the mastermind is given 2 minutes to apply the finishing touches visually through the servant.

The songs will be rated 1-10 and will be compared in a leaderboard to other games done.

Let me know what you think in and let me know if you or/and a friend would like to participate


Requirements: Must have discord or any screen sharing service.
