"X Marks The Spot" contest is live (USA only)

RichF · Post by **RichF** » Thu May 24, 2012 1:23 pm

Hello all,

Korg USA has a new contest, called "X Marks The Spot," live at www.korg.com/xmarksthespot . One lucky winner will get a free Kronos Music Workstation!

This contest is a little different than ones we've conducted before. Every Thursday for the next seven weeks, we'll reveal a clue, in the form of a riddle. Each one will send you off on a search, much like a scavenger hunt. If you can solve each riddle, you'll be entered for a chance to win.

Please note that the contest is open to USA residents only.

Hope you enjoy it... And good luck!

Thanks,
-Rich

The link is fixed. Must remember not to end URLs with periods.

Could you also perhaps put "USA contest" or similar in the thread title to warn the rest of us off, please? I got all unduly excited for a moment there (I'm in the UK).

Got the first clue though. Good luck to all the Yanks.

Analog had always been
monophonic to its chagrin
each sound was solo...
Before a multi-voiced reality
of five times nine plus three
gave history a go...
Legends tell rhymes..
thirty three a hundred times
Multi-voices say "hello"
with every key press
I do regress
Came a sound that would bellow!

What keyboard am I talking about??

You mean as a real building? Don't think so, why should it?

PS-3300, of course! A beautiful synth.

I should've added a "post script" in that rhyme scheme as another clue: "PS... yaddayadda". Ah well... counting the minutes
