GX-1のチューニング how to tune GX-1
"GX-1のチューニングです。非常にややこしい。this is hwo to adjust tune on GX-1, so crazy. You have to adjust every over tone, and there are 8 sound boards on teach raw on upper and lower. There is only one for solo, two for pedal.
Once either Upper or Lower start having problem of unstable tune, you need to correct on eacy over tone with checking which sound board has problem."

Life in Balance on the Moog Synth

Steve Sciulli of Life In Balance talks about his Moog. "When I play the Moog [synthesizer], there's such a deep-rooted connection for people that it brings up memories and possibilities," he continues. "I'm physically playing electricity. With a guitar, you always know what that's going to sound like, but with a synth, you're not only playing music, you're recreating the sound every time you power it up."
