I have a CP70, but that's certainly not fitting in this space. (I wish I had a GS1.)

If I had correct legs for it, sure. I don't know what product I would actually put under the CS80 without expecting it to crumple instantly - the CS80 is a heavy @#$!er....

How long of a wall have you got? I did this - (gear p**n removed) 48" - so about slightly larger than a Matrix-12. I *could* do that kind of racking if all my keyboards were lighter, but the Chroma and the CS80 are heavy beasts. Did you really get a CS80 on to a Broder?! :o I had planed to put my l...

The big problem with vintage synthesizers - especially vintage polyphonics - is that they're very large, and bloody heavy. I have the interesting problem of trying to fit all of my stuff along one wall of a utility space that serves as an office in my rather small apartment; until recently, I was us...

I'm entertained by the initial demo at 01:00, which (to my ears) sounds very reminiscent of Deadmau5's "Strobe". The filter demo at 09:00 also has an EDM flavor to it, so I suppose they want some of that market. Or maybe this is more a commentary on EDM and Deadmau5. The MG filter sounds quite good,...

I had a black and gold Mk II that I bought a few years ago from Analogue Haven - I seem to recall it originally belonged to somebody on these forums. Never really got into the damn thing, to be honest. I'd like a whiteface, just to see if it's a little more my cup of tea, but in general I just found...

I preordered it as well. I think it'll be a good thing.

Could you write down the 2001 patch? I dont have any midi device.... Uh. I can try, but that might be a *lot* of information. (I don't know what the modulation routings are like.) Entertainingly, most of the magic in the patch is probably due to the 3P+1 filter mode which it uses. In fact, a great ...

I had to create a Soundcloud for this. :P Anyhow, here's some lousy recordings, complete with occasional clipping. Everything is recorded directly into Reaper, via the RME Babyface. None of these things are intended as musical statements, although I think a few familiar snippets of things may have c...

The best synthesised analog choir I've ever heard is a factory patch on the Oberheim Xpander/Matrix 12. It sounds so much like a sample but without the transpose and loop point artifacts. That patch alone sealed the deal for me on purchasing the Matrix 12. Demo please ;) I can record one, but I hav...

The Alesis Andromeda. I appreciate it a bit more now than I did back then. I still don't regret swapping the first one for a Minimoog D, though. On the bare edge of synths: the Yamaha YC-45D combo organ. I've bought two, I've sold two due to space issues. I'd like another one. And more space. On the...

One of the choir patches that comes with the Rhodes Chroma CC+ Upgrade is pretty good, especially with a little bit of reverb. I think it's bank 3, patch 36 or something like that. Then again, everything sounds good with enough reverb. While I don't own one, I've also been listening to demos of the ...

Never tried one for a synth, but they're one of my favourite effects for a Rhodes Piano. Also good on Clavinet and combo organs; might be nice on string synthesizers, that sort of thing. One unique feature that the PS-1 does which other things don't do well is that it has a ramp between speeds - lik...

The Rhodes and the Clavinet are both super-easy to work on; the Wurlitzer is horrible bloody living h**l to tune, adjust, or repair.

Avoid unless you plan on sending it to Vintage Vibe or another reputable tech - and this is from somebody who likes DIY.

... how about something like the Roland JP-8000? They're a bit desireable right now but you can get them pretty cheap still. Lots of fun accessible twisty-things on it.
