And there's only one way to find out...

The AX80 is not an easy instrument to love, but has a STRONG personality. To find it, you'll have to push it to the outer limits of what the engine was built to do.

Hot on the heels of my A3000 repair, I took on a more ambitious task... recapping the power supply of my beautiful Akai AX80.

I was CAREFUL. Took my time... and... IT WORKED! No smoke or tiny explosions.

Ever wondered what happens when the AX80 sounds collide with the AX73 vibes, courtesy of Andres Blanco and Mark Gijsman, creating this sonic fusion? 🎹 🎵

A real-time performance, finding my workflow with the new live setup.

Features the #Yamaha #CS-30 and #Moog #Sub37 leads with #Roland #JX-3P, #Korg #EX-8000, and #Akai #AX80 on pads.

All parts are looped/single pass/live w/ minimal post processing.
