Beautiful, glad to see Serge himself doing Serge again.
Thanks, Owl – I’m happy, too.
It is incredible how something so expensive can do something so underwhelming.
Yes, it definetely doesn’t “deliver”.
I love serge designs. Yet I have to agree with you.
It is underwhelming and uninspiring.
Cheers
simple and sonically satisfying. nice work.
€2100 per panel, Paris Flash not yet relesed. (+ €450 for power supply)
Yes, (too) expensive maybe but it sounds completely gorgeous, i very seldomly hear satisfying things out of a modular, something beyond boring short sequences and drones, this is an exception.
