"This video is a response to a request.....

My apologies for taking so long to reply to your email.
I still like the Megazwerg and haven't any intention to sell it yet.
kind of because its very portable. There arent many patchable semimodular analog synths with midi & CV/gate for under $600 out there.
There is one on EBay right now for 371 British pounds = 588.03500 U.S. dollars.

Build quality for all this MFB stuff isnt too bad.
I wish they would use something other than a black plastic box to house it -
though they MFB also make individual eurorack style modules.
If you have a eurorack setup buy modules as you like - prob more expensive but
you get what you want.

The 4 step sequencer is great for modulating all sorts of things.
its my fav section .. along with the delay.
In the video I use it to mod the delay.

The filter, envelope, mixer, all standard ...nothing really special.
Though you can never have enough of these things.

The Drum sounds are from the Schlagzwerg.
There are better drum modules out there , but the portability of this thing makes it a keeper
for me ... along with the Kraftzwerg... They are reliable, inexpensive ...
I usually sequence these things with abelton on the road so to add extra punchier drums is easy.
(layering a VST drum machine over the Schlagzwerg isnt cheating .. is it??)
Anyway, I've got the 3 installed into an old DJ turntable road case (it was my old Technics 1200 roadcase.)

2 synths and a drum machine in a cheap roadcase.
Add this to all the VST plugins you like and you can sound like the Chemical Bros :-)

In the vid, the drums are sequenced the old fashioned way ... with gate signals fron the matrix sequencer (bindubba 3)on the left (You can use any sequencer really ... but the matrix sequencer is great for creating complicated patterns).
The Megazwerg is also sequenced with CV ... just random patterns using the same sequencer (NonlinearCircuits)
