the strange strange sounds
the sounds this sk-1 can create can often be complex crazy or harsh and playable it can create rich and long soundscapes with strange ambient background tones that sound something like the engine room of an alien spacecraft. the sample mangling is Lo-fi and very meaty the glitch time is very adjustable and interesting alterations are created that can easily be re sampled for use in a DAW. the chord mode can sound very cool and glitch even creating some strange deep sub bass sounds the part solo switches are fun to play with as well."
