    Outstanding playing and articulation. It doesn't matter whether it's a Model D or some other synth, it's always more about the player.

    Ah yes the good ole Mini! Amazing how after some 40 years it sounds every bit as fresh as it back in the day. Such a simple synth, and such a iconic sound! Sadly I'll have to settle for the Behringer version.. which actually sounds pretty good as well, so in that respect I'm happy to be able to get all of those iconic sounds, minus the big physical presence..
    Thanks for this demo, I really enjoyed it! Maybe you should team up with MootBooxle some time ;)
