MCS 70 (Memory Controlled Synthesizer)

[Tony Allgood]

Hi,

If I'm right, I think the guy who's behind it used to be the CEO for
Lambourghini cars. He commisioned the thing to be built for him. It had
no keyboard and was programmed in step time, since the owner couldn't
play a note. There was a free single attactched to a copy of E&MM, I
can't remember which one, but it was very cute. It sounded very
analogue, in fact, on the free track it sounded like eight channels of
filtered square waves... blip blip blip bleep. Fast attack, short decay
notes like that bloody 'Pop Corn' shite from the 70s. However, this was
much better, a bit trancey. E&MM did a review on the album, and thought
it was too reliant on sequenced patterns, and so didn't rate it much.
Which is quite brave of them considering thay gave away a free single
and interviewed the fellow that same issue. Future Music are never that
honest.

Regards,
