    Where is the computer? All his stuff is analog circuits. While under certain definitions that is a computer, by most it is not.

    He has a whole YouTube channel all about this and it’s well worth a watch.

    I find it amazing he did not only perform the song live, but absolutely impromptu. They had to look up the lyrics for him and yet the song was awesome.

      Of course he doesn’t have an actual PC running Windows, masOS or Linux but he absolutely has some digital circuitry in his rig, and some of it probably fit the normal definition of a computer (a cpu with some ram running a program saved in memory).

      That LCD for example… analog lcd drivers just don’t exist.

        Calling Analog synths and MIDI cables ‘a computer’ is like referring to sending an email as ‘sending a letter’.
