"Thanks to channel supporter ⁨@AlisonWilder⁩ for suggesting this real-time sound design session format for ye ol' gear tubes!

Vintage synths are magical for many reasons... not least is that they were designed with strict hardware limitations that forced the makers to invent clever solutions to difficult problems while keeping costs LOW!

(come to think of it, this may not be unique to vintage synths... I digress.) ::ahem:: Designing through those solutions is kinda like uncovering a time capsule of brilliant thinking and interesting sonic possibilities.

Maybe it IS true! Are we really only limited by our imaginations? Let's find out with Dr. Synthy Pants!"

Programming is similar to the ASM Hydrasynth.
