Very cool. Though I think the apt name for this would be NXT-505 – not 606, as it's based on samples, not synthesis.
Good point! Either way, pretty cool, though!
8k? 8 bit? wow…this sounds good for such lo-fi reminds me of the the same sound the Mirage makes…now i want to drag out a Mirage and compare
