    I think the "Ise-nin" is pronounced Ice Nine - like the Joe Satriani song.

    you can temporarily Delete the factory presets for more space they are permanently in the unit so when you restart it, they are always there. I have owned 5-6 of the SP 12 turbo 5.0 sec which is 2.5 sec for the 1st two pads, so when you delete the factory sounds, you can get more out of the unit. To see if your unit has Issues go to 23 in the special functions and punch in 99 the light show will start anything not lit has an issue.as you see in my phone logo still have my Emu SP 1200 1 of 3, bought the Isla sp2400 sounds the same workflow not so much I do like the 45-record speed function to give it that ole school tone. Anyway enjoy

    47:18 I honestly didn't notice that until now. I thought it was a stylistic choice this whole time. I have heard tv scores up until the early-mid 2010's that still use pizzicato for all of the incidental stuff.

    Well, who needs a studio tour? Truly everyone will be heading for it, as soon as the intro has been seen, there is no doubt about it. A bit disappointing though that the studio does not go on tour obviously...maybe in part II? if you need the song to be sung in English with a resilient, undeniable German accent, please let me know. In this case I am willing to do that. Some serious questions: how many qm does your room have? How do you manage to get all that stuff in that room? How do you convince your partner, that there is always studio work to do, and sometimes even a long studio tour video has to be produced? Cheers and thx for your excellent videos, I am really enjoying it. Rob
