Halloween Theremin Video Contest Update

You saw the vids here. Now it's time to vote. Via the Moog Music Mailing list:

"The deadline for posting videos has passed and the online poll has been set up on the Moog Music Forum. The entries are incredible. The outpouring of talent and imagination that went into the making of these videos is inspiring. Our deepest thanks go out to all the contestants.

On Monday, November 30, at 12:00 pm EST, the video with the most votes in the poll will be the 1st prize winner. At that time, the judges will also check to see which video has the highest number of views on YouTube. The video with the highest number will be the 2nd prize winner. If a video wins the poll and has the highest number of views, the lucky winner will receive both prizes!

Even though it's too late to post a video, you can still participate in the contest.

"Did you all know that the Launchpad has a secret Space Invaders mode? Well it doesn't! This is a midi clip I programed so when I'm not pushing buttons on the launchpad it looks cool, sort of like an idle mode. If anybody wants the clip email or pm me."
