Second entry from my side.
A bit more to it. At least with regards to effort. 
LYRA with a LFO or three on the OT.
A4 . Bass drum. LFO on the volume. Pluck, arp and LFO.
And weird atonal shit track. Volume LFO ++ and arp.

First entry!
Tough challenge! This is the 2nd or 3rd try at making something like a composition.
All Digitakt and Monologue:
2 tracks of rain and cars; LFOs on the volume & OD.
1 track of retriggered hihat.
2 tracks of single-cycle waveforms; LFOs mostly on filters
2 tracks vocal samples; spoken and sung, LFOs mostly on start point & play direction
1 track drum break; LFOs on filters and play direction
1 midi track triggering the Monologue (in arp mode)
Pretty much one patternāI copied the same pattern across a few slots to make the mutes & unmutes cleaner.

This sounds like bats!
When you slow down their echolocation it kind of sounds like this.

Sorry, whatās the deadline in EDT? Iām no good at timezones.
Seems like midnight July 30th in UTC-10 (Hawaii?) would be . . . uh . . . 6am on Sunday, July 30th in New York?

I meant it to be midnight as in end of day (11:59 pm). So following from that:
EDT (USA East Coast): 5:59 am Monday July 31st
UTC: 9:59 am Monday July 31st
CEST (Central European Summer Time): 11:59 am Monday July 31st
IST (India Standard Time): 3:29 pm/15:29 Monday July 31st
AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time): 7:59 pm/19:59 Monday July 31st
(But also, the real deadline is before we make the poll post, which is likely to be an hour or a couple later)

I did this one last week, I thought it was a bit too busy sounding, but listening again in the happy optimism of having two weeks off work Iāve convinced myself I prefer this one to my other ones.
Itās multiple tracks with different instruments, each having single note of a minor scale arpeggiated differently.

Second entry!
Same basic setup as the first, with some different samples and a different arpeggioā¦
It does make me wonder; this was all one take and all one pattern, and I triggered the Monoās arp at the start and let it run free.
Buuuutā¦ throughout the take I was also removing and adding back steps in the arpās sequence.
Are the steps in an arp considered individual ātriggersā ? If so I suppose this entry is disqualified?

Third entry! Fun and challenging.
Some cutoff and LFO fade changes during take. Hope thatās allowed ?
A4. Lead ARP and LFOs. Kick and some LFO infected percussion.
MINITAUR OT ARP.

Iām thinking I might have fucked this up. First of all Iām 20 seconds over the three minute limit. Itās just a bunch of dumb delay tails but stillā¦ Secondly I too went with the idea of one trig per note of the arp (all other sounds are one trig per track). Thereās only three notes in said arp and I triggered them by hand toward the beginning and held those keys down until I let the arp die in the middle. When it returns to the main pattern I do the same thing once again. Any variations in the arp are from twiddling rate, mode, octave, and swing. Hereās what I came up with:

Also! Iām loving what Iām hearing in here! I love the open endedness of this kind of challenge and I knew Iād get to hear all sorts of weird, cool stuff. And I might have even learned a little along the way :0)

This was really an excellent and very inspiring challenge. Thank you @sleepside and @bodymechanics for coming up with the idea and hosting the thread.
I felt well at home and it was very difficult to pick a favorite from all these nice submissions.

You are far too kind! I see you in the current sounds thread and feel the same way most every time you post.
Also! Giving a final listen to all these now. When I was listening one by one as they trickled in I thought I had a clear winner in mind. Listening to all of them together has made this much more difficult. Good stuff everybody!

Cool. Well, me and a mate had a listen through these and we both agreed this was good stuff. Keep up the good work! Cheers
