    Oh wooww ! A PMG song from the greatest era of the band.
    During the 90's, Î’ve spent 9 years travelling the world and the seven seas from the Caribbean to Australia (NYC, South east asia, the pacific...). I would travel with a few tapes and later on with a portable cd player. Among them were the Offramp, Still life talkin, and the First Circles.
    This very song was the one I was constantly listening to and dreaming while in the plane or in my van while touring Australia for 3 years. Sea of clouds seen from above, the deck of a cargo boat or the dirt of the endless tracks of OZ were the perfect match to this absolutely beautiful piece played on repeat.
    Memories for life beautifully recreated here Claudio.

    The vast array of sounds this produces is astonishing. Given the prices of vintage polysynths and some new ones, the C14 is surprisingly fairly priced. They say it's supposed to be aimed at performing musicians as opposed to producers but it doesn't seem to make much sense. No one goes to gigs for sound nuances which drown out in a live scenario. Also, the keyboard player uses mostly bread and butter sounds available from any synth. The C15 would make sense if there where 1 of them on stage and the music was created specifically for those.

    Every time I listen to this synth I get this thought: it is a human implementation of synthesys methods that are too complex for humans. It has the intrinsic power to be expressive and flexible. A true masterpiece. I touched it in a fair but it needed more time and attention. As Claudio showed in another video, it is perfectly programmable. I am still dreaming to see a plugin version (it is possible: it has been modeled before building it just by his creator). Claudio, can you ask to your friends...?

      You can control/assign EVERY parameter with the 2 ribbons, bender, and 4 pedals as well. Not to mention you can connect it via WiFi to an iPhone, tablet or computer to control it real time as well where you can adjust the parameters touch screen (tablet/phone only). Also everything you do from the time you turn it on is recorded.

      @darwiniandude 10 дней назад

      @@Mercy_Pants for real time control that is plenty, but in terms of creating/programming sounds thats where physical controls really shine vs a button to select a parameter that you then change. Which is how I'm assuming it works. But I'll look more into it. I does sound fantastic. Constant recording is a great feature - Fantom X had that just over 20 year ago but only a rolling buffer of the last 40 seconds or so. Still great for capturing ideas. Nice to hear it has that properly implemented - everything should.
