Plenty of hesitation on this one - but here's a quick live jam exploring basic MIDI synchronisation possibilities between with the Prophet 6 and Nord Electro. The sequence used was saved on the Prophet 6's factory preset #433 which is a replica of the Prophet 5 factory preset #33. Coincidentally, the exact same sequence appears on the song 'Persimmon Tree' from the collaborative project 'Downwelling'  by Not Waving and Mark Lanegan - an album I love and am very much familiar with.
This jam was named as a nod to that song and to Mark Lanegan's great legacy who unfortunately left this world earlier this year.
The photo was taken at their sublime gig at Jacobikerk Chapel, in Utrecht, November 2019 during Le Guess Who Festival.

I recorded this while jamming with the Dave Smith Instruments / Sequential Prophet 6 and Tempest together for the first time.
The bass track was overdubbed separately.
It gets a little silly and OTT once the bass arpeggios kick in!

Syncing these two instruments is so much fun.
