Nick Rhodes from Duran Duran.

Another news for fans of the unique Performer : it's featured on three
new songs (free download -naaah I'm not spamming-) downloadable from :

(songs number 2, 4 and 5)

It is hard for me to explain, but the Multiman/Performer sounds for me
(compared to a ARP Stringie or another technical comparable machine)
more "dirty", more "angry". An ARP Stringsection sometimes sounds to me,
as their single sounds cannot be overlayed=>it seems to begin in higher
frequencies to...how should i explain..."saw"...unpleasantly saw. This
is what a Multiman/Performer doesn´t do. It -always- sounds old and
dirty and never importunately. Simply out Al Stewards "On the border"-i´
m pretty sure it is a Multiman. In the opposite: "Christmas Time" from
Wings (the overkill for String synthesizers) sounds to me -more- ARPish.
