Bleeps and Boops

I hate Ableton, I don't really do synth videos my normal stuff is guitars over on ‪@BenWalkerMusic‬

However Here's Xtal, hastily assembled from the original samples and as close as I have to the original kit on hand.

Samples
* Steve Jeffries, Mary Carewe & Donald Greig Evil at Play    • Steve Jeffries, Mary Carewe & Donald ...  
* The Incredible Bongo Band Apache    • Incredible Bongo Band – Apache

Sampled on the world's whiniest S3000XL (the floppy disk also died during the making of this video, so I couldn't even save the samples...), at a deliberately lofi 22.05kHz

Roland R8 + Electronic card for drums

Yamaha TX81Z supplies the pad. I had a go at recreating the strings on it, but tbh the 'French Horn' preset sounds so unlike a French Horn, it might as well be labelled "Synth Pad 1".

Reverb Yamaha SPX90. I don't own a Quadraverb and am a huge MBV fan..

Sequenced on the venerable Roland MC50

Apologies for the fuzz on some of the audio
