Dave Smith Tempest & Elektron MonoMachine SFX6 keyboard

Listen in stereo.

"DSI tempest drum machine with the Elektron monomachine.
Two great instruments.
This keyboard version of the MM is rather rare.
Quirky & unconventional ... I like it.
Only 500 of these exist so I think I'm lucky to have found one.

Cobramatic & Jondent."
