Our boy Arcologies, flexing 18 simultaneous instances of the Amigo VST by Potenza DSP on Youtube, March 25, 2024. Amigo is in the video thumbnail. It's in nearly every frame. He talks about how he uses it in the video, and in the comments. He encourages others to buy it. Got this one dead to rights, friends. There's no escaping it. This man is an owner and a user of Amigo VST. Paid his own hard-earned $10 even. Offered up the samples he processed with Amigo right in the comments even. I mean c'mon now. Someone Approve this already.

In this Youtube video from 2023, arcologies manages to make a whole track with the SP-808, as mentioned in the title, the posting notes, and as seen throughout the whole video.

SP-808s aren't worth the space they take up, as the onboard sequencer sluggish and Zip drives this old can't be trusted.

In this Youtube track, posted in early 2024, Arcologies shows the hardware used to produce the track @0:07. They've even labeled the instruments. Ones of those instruments is the Roland System-1.
