Re: Polyvolver KB vs. A6

2005-03-28 by rickyannotta

If you want to hear music made with the A6 and the Evo(mono) 
together visit Bolele Gerkes site at  http://synthmusic.info/

The A6 certainly seems capable of some excellent pads...the Evo 
shines in his compositions as well.  These two synths compliment 
each other well!
