• Round 43 Rule Update
• Oct 16th, 2009

Since the Round 43 Samplepack is a bit sparse, samples from the original Mick Rippon song are allowed for use. VST are not allowed so if the original your covering uses VST, only use samples from the samplepack.
If the original song uses rendered samples they are still allowed.

• Round 42 Rule 3 Update
• Sep 11th, 2009

There was a mistake in this round's 3rd rule. This round is a classic samplepack style round. Plugins are Limited tracker features only. Modules are limited to only the built in effects of your chosen tracker.

Sorry for any inconvenience. Please see the rules for details.
