“The Synthi provides a fresh look at that with its semi-modular matrix setup. The TAE modelling algorithm they use really makes the quirkiness of the Synthi come out, to me. (...) The sounds I was creating with just a few clicks were really inspiring to me. The CZ-V is a really cool addition. (...) I’ve never used one before, but I loved this software. The Mellotron is a really cool element in this software (...) That’s pretty exciting!”
