    OK, granted, I'm a newb who hasn't purchased his first synth, but WTH, how is this little thing making these sounds? Granted the video is getting well deserved compliments for doing a LOT with a little... but seriously aside from the playing... those cymbals, the bass, the keyboards, they sound so amazing and so analog. How is this possible?

    As a pianist, I know how satisfying it is to pull off those sweet licks when you’re soloing
