      lol. Good point. I came here to whinge about not being able to enter, but yeah, I wouldn’t give up our free health care for all the synths in the world. I also got a DFAM, Monopoly and a Polyend Tracker with my numerous stimulus payments. My mate in Melbourne got one of these Pulsar 23’s too. So, I guess I can forgive you for your sponsor not accepting global entries. This time…

    I loved the P-23 at first. But I was constantly trying ways to not make it sound like the P-23. I was using Eurorack oscillators and stuff and getting good results but eventually I sold as I thought I can make much more personal drum sounds without it. But as a machine and interface it’s great. Don’t miss it.
