As a song, I'm not digging it. It feels more like some sort of artistic sound installation, or maybe "riffing". Interesting noises, though.

It is not meant to be a song. Heath is kind enough to post audio demos of the rare synths in his collection.
Thanks Heath - reminds me of the EML 101.

Whoops. I always forget that some of the tracks here are intended as demos. A bit silly rating them, I guess.

Hi Z, yeah this was meant just as a rambling audio demo. Funny you mention the EML 101 as the insides of the swan were actually built by EML for Performance Music Systems. They were built to P.M.S. specs, which is why this also has a SSM 2040 filter (same as rev 2 prophet 5) where as the 101 did not.Z wrote:It is not meant to be a song.
