Retro sound for a reasonable price

Trax Controls is a British online electronics business which sells different setups and parts for model trains....And one analog synthesizers. The retrowave R1 is made on demand in his workshop.. Sonically, i think it's really close to the Roland SH series, somewhere between an SH09 or SH101 but with a different filter.. You get the same One oscillator with a sub architecture, it's simple but it sound really good, you get that "classic" 80's sounds....I love it
