Ghostradioshow [Cooking sine waves on ER-1]

This video was a real eye-opener for me. It completely transformed my view of the my Mk 1 ER-1 from a solid but uninspiring drumbox, to a living-breathing instrument in it’s own right. Excellent work.
I have since abused my own ER-1 from frantic knob tweaks, and later picked-up a sampling ESX-1. Oooo. Ahhh.

Lovely use of the ESX-1 Arpeggiator, and a pretty nice track overall.
