Frank Stickle suggested the Microkorg to me when I was looking for a portable synth, I must say it's my favourite synth, produces some wonderful sounds.

Well it sure sounds fantastic Mark!
 
I meant the Mark II violins, but I missed it when I proof or “goof” read it.
For me there is almost no such thing as “too much effects”, love my delays and such.
 
Your post was a double treat, as I recently purchased a MicroKorg XL, and that little sucks kicks some serious butt \"Smile\".

Thanks very much Tony.

I actually used the Mark II 3 violins for this piece. The tapes came with the machine and are probably at least 20 years old but not the original tapes the machine was shipped with. The tapes aren't in great shape, well the tron isn't either, and I was surprised at how good they can sound.

Until I owned a tron I always favoured the M300a violins, try as I might I can't get the sound I want out of them, I firmly believe on no evidence whatsoever that you need an M300 to play them on. I am beginning to prefer the sound of the 3 violins.
