MFB Kraftzwerg Demo

"There still aren't many demos of the Kraftzwerg up right now, so I thought I'd throw my own into the pile. While I don't use sounds like these in my own music, I like listening to and making them because they really demonstrate just how far the synth can be pushed and give one a great idea of the possibilities. Plus, they're a lot of fun to make! Yes, I recorded this using my camera's audio, but I'm fat and lazy, so that's to be expected. Anyway, enjoy the demo!

Some thoughts on the Kraftzwerg: I got kinda pushed into this one by accident. A while back, I was selling nearly every synth I had so that I could buy a whole bunch of stuff that was normally outside of my price range. Toward the top of this list was an Analogue Solutions Red Square. I ordered one from Analogue Haven's website but there was a mistake on their site saying that it was in stock when it wasn't. Then there was this big lapse of communication, blah blah blah, so to make up for it, they decided to let me have a piece of gear at a significantly reduced price. There wasn't much of theirs at the time that they had that was in stock that I particularly wanted, but as I had the spare cash and I'm a sucker for good deals, I thought I'd give the Kraftzwerg a shot, and that's how I ended up with it. It's a very killer unit. It's completely analog and semi-modular. The VCO's are a blast, the filter can get pretty Moogy, and the cross-modulation of the LFO's makes for some very neat effects. The only thing I can even think to complain about really is the lack of a multiples module, but that's really not such a big problem. It integrates with other modulars and semi-modulars quite nicely and on it's own is a very capable machine. The default signal path leaves a bit to be desired, but as it is a semimodular, it's nothing that a patch cable or two can't fix. I love this synth, and I'm glad that I got it as even when I'm not making music with it, just fiddling with this thing provides hours of entertainment and inspiration."
