"It’s not often that I get to play synth for a video. Since I love creating lofi ambient soundscapes reminiscent of the Blade Runner and Stranger Things soundtracks, I wanted to find an easy-to-use analog synth that could help me achieve those lush, spacious sounds. So, I reached out to my friends at ‪@MASDistro‬ to try out the Vongon Replay. Here are the results of my efforts—overall, I think this is a fantastic creative tool that could add a lot for anyone looking for that extra spark in their workflow."
