Finally got around to watching this. Jered this Vectra is one of the best synths ever made and I’m so grateful have been there near the beginning, even seeing Dennis B play live with the 777 and then getting one myself. I hope you continue doing amazing things because your brain and approach is unlike anyone else out there.

I bought two FR-777 1998/99 and I am still happy, they are in mint condition and sound great. They are something special and can sound like a beast from the hell or a angel whispering from heaven. The 7-pole filter isn´t something you find on most synths out there. If you have a dense mix (genre doesn´t matter) and the 777 kicks in, it feels like it say´s "make room, HERE I AM". The 777 bites itself through every mix, no problem. Thx a lot @Jered Flickinger and thx @Syntaur for the video.

This is fantastic! The 777 is now legendary, and it's nice to hear Dennis come up. I loved mine, should have kept it. Jared, if you're reading this, thanks for the 777. And the XS!

The Mobius sequencer was ahead of its time. I still have mine along with an ORB.

Great show, Jared is a Genius.

Still enjoying my 777. Bought one when it first came out, replaced it when it was stolen a number of years later. I love the joysticks on the Vectra! A K1m has been on my wishlist for a while but Vectra seems like it will scratch that itch and then some.

Merry Christmas Dean.

[@Maschinestorm]

Still think the zillion was cool idea, maybe not as big hit as ndlr but I like the design more. Curious if "Were there any products come out since beginning made you think 'Wish I had done that' " or just certain software or ideas like when you hear a song 'Wish I made that' vibe.

[@OliverChesler]

Love my ZILLION!

[@kyradanielle7644]

...can we see the Fizmo protoype?

[@Syntaur]

We featured it on our Synthomania 2020 stream uploaded on this channel. We plan on showing it more in the future.

@@Syntaur oh awesome :)

[@christoroppolo8742]

The demos are interesting but I’m still on the fence.the reason being too many company’s can’t deliver the synth in a timely fashion and that’s usually when something quote still in development shows up loaded with the promise of firmware updates to come . Hopefully that’s not the case here 👽
