Patchstorm #1.

About Patchstorm

Patchstorm is a collective patch-making recurring event. Goal is to create patches for softsynths or samplers, on a certain theme/restrictions. At the submission date, the patches would be made public from this wiki page for anyone to use.
Patchstorm is similar to Tunestorm, but unlike it, there are no restrictions on sharing of in-progress work and you are welcome to submit a patch even long after the deadline.

Rules

Patches are to be used on free open source software, running at least on GNU/Linux, for example Yoshimi/ZynAddSubFx, Petri-Foo/Specimen...
The submission must be licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, equivalent or less restrictive, of course the work must respect the licenses of resources it is based on.

Submissions

Finished submissions are to be sent to <contributions AT opensourcemusician.com>, please use "Patchstorm" in subject of the email.
Submit as many patches as you want, each in archive file (zip or tar.gz), containing the patch files, installation instruction, license information and a demo sound file (ogg, mp3, flac or wav). Plus points for source file (midi/whatever) of the demo sound file :)

Current Patchstorm (01)

Theme is nice fat yet ripping distorted sound :) Deadline 2011-9-17. (If working with sampler, make it loopable - not fixed length)
