I am sorry for posting this so late, but this might be fun to do. Still a few days left for the courageous under us.

Ha yes! I don't think they have to worry much about losing money. So far I only found two contest entries that used the Prophet X. The 40+ other entries I reviewed used 8Dio vst libraries.

I am still amazed how realistic those libraries have become over the last few years. Listening to the contest entries, it occurred to me that those libraries do inspire / invite people to write 'big', film music style, sounding tracks.
