New Shepitology video- Africa on the Prophet’08.

Turnkey closed down and it really broke my heart, not because I care about their business or their useless sales people, but just like everybody else, for me this was the place to check new keyboards thoroughly without being pestered by a frustrated seller. Same can be said about the deceased Soundcontrol which was an expensive shop where all items I bought from were always returned as they were faulty. It was great though as the biggest synth show room in London, though.

Anyway I happened to be rehearsing around the corner from Turnkey when they had their big sale and I scored a Korg MicroX and a DSI Prophet ’08 for ridiculous prices (…it still wasn’t as cheap as I wanted).
So here we are a month later with a short video of me playing Toto’s Africa on a brass patch. Not sure why I did it, but you guys really seem to enjoy synth porn (me to but it’s always too much work to make it).
My overall impressions? Well it sounds good and is fun to twiddle with. The keyboard is a bit stiff but has got a very good aftertouch response.
There’s another video on its way (already done- so no empty promises here) but more details in next week’s post.
Enjoy!
