Hi

His guy uses quite simple analogue sounds, which can be produced with a
little phatty too, as samples for computer constructed music. The music
creation itself has nothing to do with the analogue synthesizers. You
could do similar stuff with a MIDI sequencer, a large MIDI/CV interface,
anbd a large modular system. But for sure not for the price of a note
book, ableton live and a average audio interface. If you want to do this
music, then go the computer way.
