Damn. Iāve just spent an hour or so playing around with these competition limitations and I couldnāt figure out pitch but that makes so much sense, not sure why I didnāt think of inverting the sequence! This is a crazy module, I bought it right away when it came out but to be honest Iāve slept on it and never really explored it much. Itās really good for making and sequencing drums. I think I know how different drum patterns could be sequenced. Crazy.

Figured out the proper 1V/Oct Tracking after reading through @steve hints. This just went from fun to absolute bananas!

This makes me very happy to hear! You now have 12 days to make a proper track
Itās official. Iām an idiot. I had lost this passage between the rules and I wanted to make everything work with the Foundamental Midi-CV and Midi-Map which instead are used for something else.
Oh no! - trying to do it Midi-CV or Midi-Map will only lead to hair loss and gnashing of teeth.

hope its goin good for everyone. i am nearing completion, with 5, soon 6 shapmasters (not pro lol) and 30 fps. i guess i could add a question here while im at it: can i use 2 manual gates for run and reset for the shapemasters? i can manage without, but would save some modules
While it seems like a reasonable request, Iād say not. Reason being, if you were to win, it would give people reason to challenge your victory on the grounds that you were using modules that were not in the allowed list. And if we said yes to the manual gates, it might lead to requests for other modules to be allowed too. Slippery slopeā¦
You could use one SM as your master and use one channel on that to send out a run to the other SMs. And you could use one channel on that or any other SM to send out a reset (you can manually reset channels on SM individually).
Iām gonna say how to do that as the manual is actually a little out of date in that regard - in V1, you would alt/option click a channelās play button to reset it. Since in V2 the alt/option key is now used by Rack for panning around the patch, we had to change that modifier to Command/Ctrl.
Did you figure out the 1 V/Oct sequencing in the end?

that is completly fair! thank you for suggesting a sollution and taking the time to help out.
i did figure out the V/Oct just a couple minutes after getting the Stoermelder modules. the reason for me being vague in my answers were, as you have said, figuring it out is part of the fun.
ive sat with vcv rack this entire day, and this way of using the SM has been so fun. i will link the patch later, and for those who dont wanna download the patch, and just listen, ill put it on soundcloud aswell

Excellent! Iām looking forward to seeing/hearing what you have made and am glad you have had such fun making it. I canāt wait to see all the patches people come up with made mostly from multiple ShapeMasters!

Thatās excellent! Really impressive and I like it a lot - reminds me of Bicep.
And very generous of you to share the patch at this early stage. I thought people might hold off posting their patches until the last moment so as not to give away their techniques/discoveries haha!
I think Iām going to add a couple more modules to the allowed list - Nothing that changes the sound or creative possibilities, but VCV Notes and Stoermelder Glue would be useful from our side when it comes to reviewing - so people can mark up their patches and tell us any key info about whatās happening and what controls what - āPress this to start it runningā etc.

thank you!
it is a risk of sharing early, but if im not early i know for sure im gonna be late, so this was better.
i could update the patch later to add notes for info
Iām still working on mine, but happy to share as soon as Iām done. So far Iāve got a 4-voice paraphonic synth with some varied LFOs and a bitcrusher on one voiceā¦ so much fun already!

awesome!
I almost got the intonation to work, except for one small detail.
When I have an input of 0V, set to C4, there is no audio.
All other notes (so all other volts) work, C4 is silent. 
Hmmm - that doesnāt sound quite right - because C4 is just a frequency - if the frequencies either side of it are sounding OK, then thereās no reason C4 should be silent I can think of.
Another way of saying it - if SM is not producing an audible frequency at what you think is C4, it perhaps isnāt actually at C4. Because C4 is where it is making the C4 sound 
Hard to say without seeing your patch but you can post here or send me a PM with an image if you like?
