RS Components kunngjør vinneren av DesignSpark «Summer of Sound»-designutfordringen

Nyskapende synth-gitar-hybridprosjekt vinner produkter til en verdi av £ 1500

Norge, 29 november 2018:

RS Components (RS) har kunngjort vinneren av DesignSpark «Summer of Sound»-designutfordringen.

Konkurransen ble lansert i juni og avsluttet i september og utfordret medlemmene av DesignSpark-forumet til å skape et originalt musikkrelatert design, for eksempel et nytt musikkinstrument.

Vinneren var medlemmet «mattybrad», som mottar RS-produkter til en verdi av £ 1500. Vinnerprosjektet, som ble valgt ut som det beste av et dommerpanel, var et synthesizer-gitar-hybridinstrument. Det spilles som en gitar, men har klangen og funksjonaliteten til en synthesizer.

Greig Cameron, ansvarlig for DesignSpark-forumet i RS, hadde følgende kommentar: «Alle vi i RS og DesignSpark gratulerer mattybrad med seieren og det svært nyskapende synth-gitar-designet. Vi ønsker også å gi en stor takk til alle som deltok i utfordringen.»
