Airwolf theme on the Roland Fantom G6
YouTube via joukoq. sent my way via Toumal.
"I got the Fantom G on Friday and threw together this as a practise project. Used preset sounds with some minor tweaking. For somewhat better quality: http://kiekko.tk/q/airwolf.mp3
I routed all instruments through a Super Filter MFX to do some kind of fade in/out, but didn't find a way to automate this, so I've done it in real time here.
The melody probably isn't 100% right. It's mostly based on listening to the Commodore 64 game tune a long time ago. I never actually saw the series. It seems the TV show and C64 melodies differ a bit."
Sequential Circuits Prophet 10 - Original Brochures
"two different Sequential Circuits Prophet 10 synthesizer original brochures. One is a 4-page affair they call the Spec Sheet that is what you'd think of as a sales brochure, the other one appears to be a mailer that folds with similar P-10 propaganda. The text talks about all the features, controls, filters, amps, etc. for the unit."
