The winners from our Kawaii Dreams From Mars contest! 

We asked you to create an original composition using only the sounds from our Kawaii Dreams sample pack as non-drum sounds, and we'd award Reverb gift certificates to our favorites. Well ... the results are in! 

Congrats to the winners and everybody who participated. There were so many great tracks it was hard to choose, but these 4 REALLY stuck out to us as special. They were original, musical, technically adept, and demonstrated the dreaminess of the Kawaii Dreams pack very well!

• VOICES: Bell Air, Hello, Return Home, Voices
• KEYS: Air Bass, Drops, Hologram, Jazz Harp, Randroid
• PADS: Analog Strings, Warm Strings

Drum sounds are courtesy of:

• Linn 9000, Fairlight IIx, Alesis HR-16, Roland TR-727, TR-808 ... and a cameo appearance of synth toms via Alpha Juno.
