Download the demos!

They are awesome: I have just spent 1 1/2 hrs noodling around with a Korg Wavestation from the Korg Legacy collection.

Big smile

Great link!

 

I saw Anglagard at NEAR Fest '03 and Anna Holmgren was using a Stylo-Phone quite often, quirky sounding little beast to say the least!

People are puzzled why I don't dig the Stones, well, I listened to the Stones, I tried, and I tried, and I tried, and--I Can't Get No Satisfaction!

Coupla months back I was at a Boot Sale and picked up a Solina String Synth for £7 - - a cupla buttons dont' work right down in the lower octave - but its a five octave board so its no big deal. This, though not as good as a tron - was its commercial successorand for those very early Tangerine dream string sounds its ACE! - from like Ricochet say. Very etheral, spectral sounds. Howevere the bugger weighs a ton!!!
