korg polysix plays Tchaikovsky's - The nutcracker - "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"

YouTube via GeeDeLCydelix. The video features images of some custom Polysixes.
"This Great masterpiece is perfomed only with hardware Korg Polysix Synthesizer since 1981. No compression, no Eq, just reverb and full magic from Polysix. All sounds created by me trying to emulate some basic instruments of symphonic orchestra...Not bad for its age and technology..."

Merry Synthmas!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! As far as "Synthmas" gifts go, under my tree is a MOTU UltraLite mk3 and MOTU's Volta, purchased from Novamusik, as well as a signed Bob Moog Foundation calendar. Coming in the mail are two Monoroket Mission6's. Thank you to Novamusik for the extra T-Shirt and Coffee Cup (to the right of the Volta box)! :) I wasn't expecting either.

Hmm... Something else synth related is coming from my wife that I had no idea about until composing this post... I wonder what it is... Apparently it is under the tree. I'll post back when I find out.

Update: It's a Zoundz!!!!
