Nice stuff! I bet B00gie's would make up a great "Special Limited Edtion" limited to 1000pcs. in extra good quality :wink: http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/6237/vse2ads5.jpg Dude, no offence, but this font is ugly. Why all capitals? are you screaming or what? If you wanna do that kinda thing go d...

So if i understand it correctly, Mattson's Syntar doesnt have to do anything with EML Synthar? (in terms of electronics/design)

The following quotes from Mark Vail's Vintage synthesizers explain why the board in the Synkey says Syntaur: "The Synkey concept resulted from a patent I received for a guitar synthesizer," Milliard recalls. " Originally, the product's name was to be the Syntaur . Its electronic were designed to be...

Why does it say SYNTAR? Because the board was originally designed for the Performance Music Systems Syntar, a circa-1980 keytar synth. George Mattson (the very same whose more recent product is currently being discussed in another thread) contracted with EML to do the detailed design and fabricate ...

That looks well smart - nicely done! Would it work for an X-Station too for the most part?

Yup.

In fact, i programmed it using x-station midi implementation chart. Midi chart for xiosynth has some mistakes in it, and some parameters are completly missing

shite. that was too easy

I made this cubase control panel for one of my synths. Without this panel it felt like i was trying to control a nuclear reactor through the keyhole, if you know what i mean :) Now it's so much nicer to program it when you can see each and every function infront of you (well, i put like 97% of its f...

Today i opened my Synkey to make a few pictures of its guts. And again, i found a mystery. So here we go: This is the board that has semitones switches on it. For some reason it has 5 empty slots. http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii70/filteredboogie/slots.jpg And also, it has a strange "Syntar Rev...

whoa, 1800$

BUT, I had heard that it was just a straight divide-down polyphonic ala most string synths from a number of sources, and since I had string synths I liked at the time, I didn't go for it. You've made me regret that!!! Yeah, i guess it's very common misunderstanding regarding Synkey's polyphony. Som...

Man... lemme tell ya, this machine is capable of WAY cooler sounds.

In that case, yes... it is a piece of garbage that you should definitely sell.
To me.

Oh, cmon man. I never said it's garbage, i said that i love it.

Still, you didn't surpise me a bit. I thought you were gonna tell me how i can play it as a regular poly...

Ok, so here is quick example of the last mod osc wave. (the one that looks like "\ \") http://www.box.net/shared/okofi734gk first sound is simple square wave, opened filter, amp sustain at max. MOD osc set at its fastest rate. First i increase the amount of mod osc -> pitch (to a 100%), then i gradu...
