Pretty coool.
It’s nice that some more initiatives like the smem are taken to let everyone use vintage gear
Apparently, I should open a museum and several of my friends who even have more than I. We have too many synths… or maybe not enough but this makes me feel like I have enough gear to open a museum… folks have often joked with me but after watching this….. ummm… I may have a slight problem.
Does anyone have the same feeling after watching this?
