What can I say? It's just not my day today.

This digital synth comment is not whole truth both have own places. i like hardware but i dont have room for hardware and money for hardware. and prices are there where i live higher i think. Arturia is bit poor (still sound nice when we forget what they emulate and use few kind sounds and to my taste presets are better than geforce stuff presets and i cannot make some kind sounds)i know i prefer others. and to analog type sounds only real good solution is real analog but digital sounds there is some software what i like more than many digital hardware synths for example to me Rob Papen Blue and Linplug Albino (my main workhorses for synthetic sounds today but i hope i can get some real analogs someday but in my style currently is more demand orchestral,and other acoustic samples than synthetic stuff....) are much better than d-50 for example. but only thing is what i hope we all can found tools what we like.

Hi Matt, Hi All

Great cover! Best i heard till now. So how do you control the bass pitch? Wich arp 2600 do you use? Arp 2600, Arp 2600v or TimeWARP 2600?

It's very well known by people that Arturia products are very poor when it comes to timbral character. There are two or three average ones, which just manange to scrape through as usable.

As for Jarre endorsing an Arturia product, that might have been an early blunder, which if I recall was some time ago, when softsynths were in their early ascendancy, obviously prior to 2005.
On the other hand the developer of Way Out Ware, told me that Jarre uses their ARP emulation extensively, but he has not put his endorsement on it.

Samples?

Maybe, but why on an old B&W CRT monitor?
I thought it could be some old equipment, with an old signal new screens didn't know. RGB-S og maybe a Composit signal.
