Samples! Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em (like actually, you can't have a song without sound. john cage, begone). No matter what the medium is when creating aural delights for the soul, nothing says "effort" quite like decadent instrumentation and variety within the tones you enter into your workstation of choice. But what if variety didn't exist? Take a journey with me, and I will show you the wonderful world of flourishing under arbitrary limitations and creating cool things with only a single flat-head screwdriver in your toolbox.
Today, on the TIME Magazine nominated "Best tenth entry in the recurring SMW Central music contest" 120hoSPC #10...
Your challenge for 120hoSPC #10 is to port, remix or compose anything you'd like. However, you may only use one instrument - that is to say, only one BRR may be present within the song. The pitch modulation and noise commands are allowed, but otherwise you may not use any other sample than the one you've chosen.
For inspiration and/or a quick and easy example of what the restrictions for the challenge entail, consider the Synthesis compositions. You can use whatever sample you want, including a non-vanilla sample if you'd like! Go as wild as is permitted by the law, I won't stop you.
You have 120 hours to make your entry, which puts the deadline at Saturday, March 18, 2023, 8:30 PM GMT. After that, public voting shall begin for your wonderful entries, where your songs will be pitted against each other in the glorious Combat Arena where it will have the chance to earn praise, high standing and cool prizes (participation/ranking trophies). Finally, if you have any questions, ask me or post in this thread and I promise I'll respond to them.
Have fun! I hope you win!

Contest Rules! (Bill Nye the Contest Guy)
- Your submission must be compatible with AddmusicK 1.0.8.. If it can insert, it's eligible.
- Automatic porting programs, such as SPCtoMML, are banned. However, converting with programs such as PetiteMM or it2amk is allowed; essentially, if you put effort into creating/modifying source files and/or the MML, and the resulting SPC is distinctly the result of your work, it's still eligible.
- You may work with one other person for your entry. If you have collaborated with someone and your job was to submit, tell me who your partner was.
- Send your submission to my PMs or on Discord (my tag is found in my profile) in a .zip, .rar or .7z archive. Your submission must contain your MML file, the generated SPC, and, if the sample is not vanilla, the .brr sample you used.
- Do NOT reveal your submission in any capacity to other people until voting has ended and the results have been posted. Entries found to have been previously revealed to voting parties will be disqualified.
- All entries should be created specifically for this contest, with any work having been done during the submission period. Honor system.
