TSOM - Zebralette Dancing (OSC#191)

Sakura Giants / Vantablack 164

A demo track to showoff some of the presets I have made for Repro5 which are included in its release. I really love the dusty dirty organic nature of this synth, U-He did an incredible job.

(No other plugins of any kind including eq/compressors etc used at all aside from a limiter on the master bus)
