No problem. How is this? 

Send me a CD of mapped (and Looped?) samples presented in a 
professional manner that I can use, and use as I see fit, no strings 
attached, and I will send you a reg'd Reality. 

Email me samples as above (3 x 10 MB's min. ) and I'll give you a 
downloadable Reg'd version of SurReal.

I'll offer 3 Reality's for now and as many SurReals as required. So 
if your interested in sending me a CD indicate it here. First come 
first serve. Submissions by Mid January.

Samples should be 44k Stereo, roughly 4 to 20 seconds long. Try and 
get an original starting pitch :)

I have talked with Dave about getting samples for promotion, but not 
like this. He may want to veto this for now.

Keep this fun.

Best,
Ian

Lets keep this in mind :)

many samples will you require?

Whatever you would feel is appropriate. Be an artist and put your 
best foot forward I guess. 'Evolver' is not your normal sampling 
session. I would think that something like 6 samples per patch and 
between 10 and 20 patches. The more the merrier

samples do you want?

Same as above and say 4 samples per patch and between 4 and 10 
patches.

the provider for the samples provided should only remain effective if 
you indeed decide to give the software to the provider. That is, if, 
for example, I provide you with a CD full of samples and a release, 
if you rejected my samples and didn't give me software in return 
(which is your choice) then the release would be void. Fair right?

Of course, but lets not get lawyers involved :) Lets establish the 
resons for rejecting the submission.

1. It sounds like any of the toy SoftSynths out there.
2. It sounds like factory patches from old Hardware Synths.
3. It sounds like you have never recorded anything before. 

If for some reason I reject it I will discuss with you why and will 
send you SurReal. My guess is you would probably have to put more 
effort into submitting something that I would reject, than something 
that will blow me away.

 
> 4. What about credit?

Reality can put the credits right in the Bankset. Your name, links 
etc would be front and centre. We also have something called 
SeerScene coming which could be used for establishing more web 
presence for you.

whether the value of software is commensurate with the skill and time 
required for the samples (I am sure it is and if it isn't, throwing 
in some credit would easily fill the void), this sounds like a good 
and fair offer!

Um, Reality is one of the best synth/samplers ever made. Hardware or 
Software. SurReal is it's little brother that plays back Reality 
created banksets. Same synth engine.

anything to do with your company anymore?

Dave has no relation with SeerMusic Systems. I have simply licensed 
all the apps, code, names, etc. Reality is in my mind still Dave's 
baby, I'm just babysitting and updating it for the forseeable future.

This is all fine with Dave and he would be interested in hearing how 
it turns out.

Best,
Ian
