what the Microsynth sounds like...

["Mr. Tough" <electricfriends@hotmail.com>]

It's kind of like having a distortion pedal, an octave/suboctave pedal, an 
attack delay effect, and an 'auto wah' effect all mixed together with some 
xtra eq controls and not very good sustain on stringed instruments. (It 
kind 
of stops suddenly.)

The Electric Friends have 2 mp3's that use the MicroSynth that you can 
hear 
at:

"Wow" uses a ton of microsynth with live and improvised drum machines.

"Angel Scabs" (an NIN joke song) uses one on both the piano and drum 
machine.
