"Three VCOs, two envelopes, a CRAZY mod matrix, fuzz, distortion, MIDI control, plus this box can act as a MIDI converter for older, non-midi gear. Listen to this synth (yes, the audio at this link was THIS particular Neptune II)."

Just a little lullaby before bedtime. This song was originally recorded by the Hollies in the late 1960's and I know it from an old tape I bought in the late 1980's at a garage sale.
The original recording had two special phenomenons included in the mix: The songs was modulated by - what I thinks is - a guitar tremolo unit. I have tried to emulate this by using the repeat function on the synthesizer. The other phenomenon is that the band was in only one channel and the singer was in the other. This gave a weird hole-in-the-middle feeling but gave me a great opportunity to play along with the music on my saxophone. I just turned the volume all the way down on the channel with the singer and played the melody myself. Here I play the complete arrangement though."
