SunVox
, the tracker with a Signalist-flavored instrument editor, is one of my favorite tools, and I'd love to see more SunVox activity on this site, but it occupies an unusual niche and can be intimidating to get started with.

So I'm considering hosting a series of OHBs introducing the capabilities of SunVox a bit at a time, each battle requiring entries to use a particular module or feature and giving introductory tips in the bitpack.

My hope is that such battles would be accessible to people unfamiliar with SunVox, but that they would also be a fun creative prompt and learning opportunity for more experienced users.

Of course, I'm not going to do this unless there's a critical mass of BotBrs interested. So if this does sound like something you'd be interested in, let me know below or through Discord, along with times of the week (UTC) when you usually like to battle.

I always wanted to get more into Sunvox but never managed to finish a whole track so I love this idea!

My general availability is:
UTC 1200~1500 (JST 2100~0000)
UTC 0100~0700 (JST 1000~1600)

From Monday to Thursday would be good for me.

Preferably between 7 PM to 11 PM UTC time.

sunvox and pixitracker both look intriguing, I'd be down to battle for some knowledge - 7pm-7am UTC is generally open for me, just enjoying my funemployment while it lasts.

i'll be there if i can!

to be honest, the stuff about sunvox i'm interested in is some of the advanced stuff (destructive/generative effects), but i think that task would feel less intimidating and monolithic if i had more of the basics under my belt, so this would be good for me probably.

i certainly have it in mind to revisit sunvox sometime this year.
im probably not going to be available for an scheduled ohb but should it appear in a seasonal major, then i have every chance of looking back at any modules that have been made from the series for research!

what I REALLY want to do, Lasertooth, is join your SunVox sessions, and then shamelessly steal your idea and do a series of VCV Rack OHBs as well. It does seem like a fun method for introducing new people to a format. And everyone gets to create things and rack up badge progress! win win win!

Though I should have said this a long time ago, I would be happy to participate in this session. This would be a huge help to someone who is hesitant to use it at first. I am free at WIB, 16:00–22:00, or UTC, 9:00–15:00.

Bumping this because I finally have time and brainspace to do it! Anyone else interested & want to share their availability? (I can't meet all the time constraints above, but I can try a few different times and see what works best.)

afternoon or night EST [so 7-9PM UTC / 1-3AM UTC] is ideal, but i'm often available in the evening / between those times also!
