[Dream] Prodigy - Charly

[GhregOnEarth]

Could very well something in the Juno series....there was some
crossover between the circuitry behind the synths from what I
understand. Some of the sound was comparable to in a sort of
broad sense (at least I think the 101 sound closer to the Junos
than the jupiters).


The Junos could stack their oscillators in
Unison....also the some of the Junos had onboard chorus that
was very phat (and very noisy).
