english kit.

It's not a 'patch' on the condition of Norm's!... (couldn't resist 
that!)
Yeah, it looks like a beauty, and restored by the guy who did that 
awesome Novachord restoration, so one of these would have been a breeze 
to service.

Wish I could afford it, it would make a fine partner for the VCS3.

Actually, all I'm really looking for is a KS sequencer. If anybody 
knows of one, drop me a line.

Cheers!

yeah - my odyssey sure could use a visit to him.
the sliders are all kinda sticky.
he apparently has some magic stuff he uses on them.

so fritz, do you keep a list of all your projects?
if so, would you know which had mellotron on them?

i used to do my former boss's discography.
[he used to be a pretty big producer/remixer, though
he has migrated to being a film producer - darn shame
too, cuz all the films he has been involved in have
been total crap]

and Colin owns it's big brother the VCS3.
 
Sadly a lot of people think that these synths are only capable of sound fx.  
Not true, they are capable of far more.
