  1. Great job! But it's weird to see the commodification of these sounds that where once one the cutting edge 25 years ago.

  2. very nice demo.
    the 303 software sounds much closer than anything I've heard yet. You can still hear the difference but it's pretty good. It sounds like they even tried to model the power supply fluctuations with high resonance (warbling).
    They should put up the demo for download in high quality as opposed to the crappy 64kbps youtube quality.

  3. Yes, close but you can still hear the difference in some ranges. The software sounds "safer" and "cleaner".

  4. I've actually just used the Drumazon in a new track last night. The BD seems to lack the full power that the real 909 BD has. And in this video, you can clearly hear the higher frequencies of the Nepheton are more present than in the real 808. But still, this software is easily the best SW X0X b0x emulators available.

  5. I can't understand why some ppl twist knobs in that way... it's so easy to do it using only two finger leaving your hand in the same position over the knob... just like picking something... why the hell you must grab the knob rotating your hand and then turning all the wrist arm and shoulder ??? anyway D16 did a great job but this guy never used a screwdriver :D

  6. But when you turn knobs you should do so dramatically and with zeal and vigor. Also, you should dance a little, not too much, but sort of a thrusting sway. It can be sexual, but in a laid back manner because your children may be watching.
