Don’t let Prelude’s affordability mislead you ― it sounds like a keyboard costing twice the price. Prelude is equipped with hundreds of top-quality sounds derived from Roland's famous sound modules. It also features 128 polyphonic voices for smooth performance, even with stacks of sounds playing at the same time.

Synths with built in speakers always intrigue me for some reason. The HS60 and Juno-106S for example are full blown Roland Juno-106es with built in speakers.

"The idea it to make background and texture layers with this.
Just a quick trial tho."

"This video has close-ups so you can follow most of what is happening. The difficulty was that at some point I play the bassline with my left hand and had to do all the camera positioning and the solo's with my right hand. The first sequence you hear is performed by the MFM Modular using the Synthesizers.com Q150 filter. The second sequence you hear is performed by slot A of the Nord Lead 1. The third bas sequence is performed by the Synthesizers.com Modular using the CGS Steiner filter. The bassline is performed by the MiniMax ASB using the AKAI AX80 keyboard. The solo's are performed on the Nord Lead 1 (slot B) and on the Korg 900PS. I had to shorten the video a little bit because of the YouTube limit of 10 minutes. The original video is 10:43 long and you can see or download it from my website."
