Oto Machines – News. I really didnt get the idea, that Der Oto is an update for the Biscuit – it transforms it into a little 2 OSC – 1 LFO – 1 ENV (ADS) and 16 Step-Sequencer-Synth, simple but useful. go and Ot(t)o yo’self – if you got one, it’s free! that simple – a synth. and sounds not bad, in’nt? and do I hear some ringmod or FM in here at 1:31? nice.. why? because it has a sequencer to play with and to use it „live“.. that’s…
