The BASS in =RamireZ= - AKAI AX80

I love underdog synths...this poor guy got such ghastly reviews when it came out back in 1984. The problem was the horrible presets. After several days of programming my own sounds on it, I have come to really value it. It can be heard doing the basslines on Strange planet, VisitorX, Saturn Patrol and the latest song "The Moon". Nothing sounds quit like it.
