06052010

YouTube via boobtube356 — June 05, 2010 — "Bass part is 259e to 291e to 292e to 297. The modulation oscillator is tracking and modulating the bw and fm on the 291e. It is also modulating the morph on the principal oscillator. The principal oscillator is set to green=sine, red=mem skew "b" at about 2 o'clock. The high part is 259e in the same mode as the other, but goes only to the 292e. Bass kick is 261e sine. Just a quick clip to again demonstrate the range of the system. Headphones recommended."
