Our synths require power, and that power can damage them if it's not clean. Power conditioners, surge suppressors and UPS's help protect your investment in your synth gear. I talk about the various options, and what I use. I address leaving synths on all the time vs turning them off, and answer a viewer's question about internal power supplies in synths vs external power bricks. Lastly, I answer another viewer's question about musical influences.
