Instant Vangelis vibes from the Blade Runner soundtrack. Very cool.

OK. I'm skipping lunch and putting the money in a jar. Starting to save my pennies for this box! Love it.

You’ve made this visually complex instrument at first look be totally logical and usable. This is now on my list for synth purchases. It’s an ambient sound color palette.

You could score an entire movie with this thing. So cool

A synth with zero sliders and only knobs is such a vibe. Vintage reissues could probably save a lot of space and cost by going with that approach, it has such a fun look to it.

The absolute hero that designs and builds these deserves a Nobel Prize and his own planet to rule over. I'm saving up for one.

I really appreciate the fact you checked paid promotion. I hate it when creators dont because "insert justification". You have integrity.

I'm not a musician I fell here because of the youtube algo and fell in love with this sound, amazing.

The light feature could be cool for a live show with lots of lights systems

Part synth, part Spaceship control board. Love it ❤

This was a really great rundown of a fantastic instrument. Thank you for taking the time to put this video together.

Just recently started following, and this video does not disappoint! I've been an audio and music tech since the days of vinyl and 4-track studios, and yet I still geek out over equipment like this. Thanks for giving exposure to something I would have completely missed otherwise.

I just got one, and I'm very new to synths, so this is wonderful to see such a basic, straightforward video. Looking forward to hopefully more!

This is the best walk-through on this synth on youtube. Thank you for clearing my confusion.
