"Short jam to showcase some of the sounds of this punky monophonic. Created in advance of selling the unit (replacing it with the K2). More stuff like this and not like this: www.patreon.com/devonandpaul
Recorded directly into Cubase with a little reverb from a MidiVerb II. Drums via an AceTone Rhythm Ace."

"Such a punky little monosynth from 1973. I bought this guy in Richmond, VA, though I didn't really intend to. I didn't even bring any money with me. I'd just never seen one in real life, so I made the drive. Anyhow, homie took Paypal. I knew The Cars used one a lot on their first record — you know that buzzy hook in "Just What I Needed." The Cure too, back when Robert Smith had short hair. Surprisingly expressive, especially considering the unorthodox layout & almost cockily slim number of parameters.
No issues with the functionality at all. Smooth, noiseless-sliders. In advance of selling it, I had my keyboard fix-it friend (previously Wilco's keyboard friend) give it the once over. Cosmetically, it's missing its MINI-KORG emblem, and the colors on the ends of all the switches aren't there. For all I know, they were intentionally removed, because the rest of it looks good."
