GOT VSTi?

I've been experimenting, compiling, and publishing electronic music since 1983. I program my own synthesizers, and create my own samples as well. If you ask me whether I prefer a hardware synth, or a software synth, I will tell you that I like both. Only until this year did I really start using virtual (software) synthesizers, and though the feel of a hardware synth is difficult to replace, I'm impressed by the capabilities of software synthesizers. On this page, you'll find information about my studio, compilations, and links to the manufactures.
