I see the virus get so little coverage, so I'm glad to see it here. I bought my TI over 10 years ago and it still feels like a brand new synth every time I play it. hands down my single desert island synth. I actually can't believe how into I still am.

Thanks… that why I put it together tbh. I think some viewers think of my channel as simply detailed examinations of stuff. But I actually create tracks with everything. I’ve come to the realisation that these bits are either skipped over, or the point of them is overlooked. The idea is … here’s the synth.. here’s what it can do in a track.. now let’s dig deeper and give you the info you can’t get anywhere else… but maybe I should do these as separate videos or make more of them? They’re the main reason I make the videos… gives me a chance to shut the world out and write some nice little tracks :)

Great vid. Would love to see you make a video about which of your many many many synths you actually use the most. Which did you think are amazing but just don't find their way into your workflow/tracks, etc. Could be interesting to see as a follow up to your 'Vintage Synths - are they worth it?" I've personally found that as cool and strange as some of the newer synths and vst's are, I come back to the bread and butter juno, piano (nord), and super 6 more often than not in my own music.
