video upload by Hugh R

"Just a separate upload of the cover I did for my previous video. Just a sick song from one of my favorite shows. Recorded entirely on my modular synthesizer (with some supporting pads done with the KORG Polysix)"

Space - Magic Fly (Cover)

video upload by Hugh R

"Its Magic Fly time. Recently fixed up my CS-15 and got a JX-3P on the cheap, so here's a cover that uses a little of both. Recorded on my modular, JX-3P, Korg Polysix and CS-15."

"Picked this puppy up some months ago and recently got around to getting it fixed. While it may not be a Moog or an ARP, I think the CS-15 deserves some more attention because it certainly sounds great!
