Re: Gimmick Synth

heh! yeah... saw a bunch of them on ebay the other day. but I'm in gear purge mode again, so couldn't make myself spend the $70-ish to get one... and now they're all sold out for now. aww.

I like the demo on youtube, running it with a sequencer and a delay pedal.

I think you can still get these off Amazon Japan - I ordered a couple last night. Looks like a Stylophone with an LFO and a filter. There's already some mods for it if you can work out the Google-translated Japanese:

I like the look of "VCF resonance atrocities".
