"One of my first 4 track songs from 1984 using the Moog 12 modular synth.

I see monkeys on the train

I saw a monkey
they're all monkeys
I see monkeys
we're all monkeys"

The difference between a true sinewave oscillator and a 'bent' sine-oscillator is only noticeable in fast frequency modulation. Due to it's nature the sinewave gets asymmetric generating overtones."

Writing about my first experiences with this fantastic sequencer was an “affair of the heart”. So I hope you will enjoy the following article and you are not too angry about my terrible English…"
