GRP A4 – wilder analoger Synthesizer – doch nicht nur ein „halber“ A8?

a looot of audios from the GRM A4 and large review in german about the italian analog synth (not modular but hi-quality synth) he’s refererring to the „double A4“ A8 and tells us, that the A8 has not those FM features the A4 has, also it has better thought routings here and there and is basically well made – more mod sources. the odd things is just because it is not modular – no pitch bend control over the filter and some things don’t trigger right in the sequencers (the…
