The TR5’s have been recording some great music,
here I am adding bass to a hit from 1964

The Finger Ramp
Here I am demoing The Finger Ramp designed by Luca Merlatti from Italy. I really love the radius and how comfortable it feels to play over, you don't even realise it's there, but super helpful for the fast stuff and with assures consistent pressure.
