Well it sure sounds fantastic  Mark!
 
I meant the Mark II violins, but I missed it when I  proof or “goof” read 
it.
For me there is almost no such thing as “too much  effects”, love my 
delays and such.
 
Your post was a double treat, as I recently  purchased a MicroKorg XL, and 
that little sucks kicks some serious butt .

Thanks very much Tony. 

I actually used the Mark II 3 violins for  this piece. The tapes came with 
the machine and are probably at least 20 years  old but not the original 
tapes the machine was shipped with. The tapes aren't  in great shape, well the 
tron isn't either, and I was surprised at how good  they can sound.

Until I owned a tron I always favoured the M300a  violins, try as I might I 
can't get the sound I want out of them, I firmly  believe on no evidence 
whatsoever that you need an M300 to play them on. I am  beginning to prefer th
e sound of the 3 violins.

Mark
