Synth Jam With Moog Mother-32 & Dave Smith Instruments Tempest

What they shared about the technical details:

“Quick jam using the Moog Mother 32 for the lead and bass sounds. Dave Smith Tempest analog drum machine on the drums, UDO Super 6 for some background pads, and Strymon Bigsky Mx Reverb on everything.”
