Re: The Voynich Swan Song* for Emax track

It's a nice way to say bye bye and perhaps rethink why you are selling
it?  Do this for each synth that you want to keep too.  You'll get to
know it better and realise what are its strengths and weaknesses.

Thanks - that would really be something!

There are no sequences in the track and no MIDI was used so no
quantization either!  It was all played by hand and the audio looped.
 You can hear some slightly off timing - but it gives it an organic feel.

It wasn't done in one take though ;)

He he - Emaxes rock - every one should have one in their collection
even if it does make you sound like late 80s Depeche Mode - no bad
thing IMHO.
