Neuzeit Instruments Introduces DROP - Snapshot-based MIDI Control Center for Live Performance

Details follow:
"Which live performer doesn't know this situation: You build the tension to immeasurable heights, add another filter here, three more effects there, hands go up in the air, everyone's waiting for the big drop... and then you realize: You can't find your way out of the chaos you've created!
The sweat on your forehead drips onto your equipment, and in a firework of spraying sparks, your devices and your fans say goodbye forever...
Audrey II Horrorscape Synth // First Encounter
video upload by Genshi Media Group
"::| WARNING! EXTREME FREQUENCIES AHEAD! USE CAUTION |::
A first encounter with the Audrey II Horrorscape Synthesizer from @SynthuxAcademy
yes, there are many other videos of this extremely basic, yet very epic synth, but I got one for my horror/sci-fi film scoring work, and thought you all might like to hear how it sounds... if you haven't already. My next video with it will try to incorporate other instruments in a more film score style."
