DESCRIPTION:Continuing sorta where we left off last week, this episode will involve a
lot of goofing around with and rating my software synths. We got as far as
Pigments last time, so we'll pick up with Arturia's Prophet 5. More bleeps
and bloops than you can shack a modwheel at!
Oh, and we'll also address the elephant in the room -- Native Instruments'
insolvency, and what it means to me (and maybe to you, too).
