hey a.c.--glad your restless quest has paid off. you have anything up on this site or elsewhere where one can hear this cs-40m? how do you find it in terms of gigability/portability/reliability?
as for me, my love affair with the prophet 600 is in full flower. went like this:
-bought it, relatively clueless about analog synthesis but from the little i knew it seemed like a good way to go.
-spent a lot of time tweaking about and marveling at the sounds i got out of it.
-learned how to actually play/program the damn thing, and discovered that some things were wrong with it. got them serviced.
-started really grooving on it.
-joined a band, started laying down tracks with it, became frustrated by some of its limitations when it comes to matching precise rhythms (arp, lfo, glide). considered selling and starting over with another analog poly.
-learned there was nothing that really came close in a 2-osc. poly for the price/sound.
-now i'm back to loving it again--this thing is capable of so much gorgeousness, so much eerieness, so much hugeness. the polymod section is ingenious and valuable for mayhem (and for the most part obviates a noise generator.
-and yes i just plain love it. own two now, one for backup.
