Re: FM Marimbas

Hey Moe -

Once again, very nice!

But don't you know that synthesizers aren't for good sound anymore? 
It's all about how you FEEL when you INTERACT with your modular. 
That's why sound demos for REAL synthesizers are not necessary (or
available).

Uh, more Analog Heaven humor... :)
