I never could make myself fall in love with the Matrix-6 (actually it was a 6R in my case). It sounded too mannered and polite for my tastes. Your ears may tell you different.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

I'm with Joey on this one. If anyone is in possession of one that they find disappointing I will be glad to remove that particular burden from their hands.

I owned a Source for three years. It was already a decade old when I bought it, but the membrane panel never gave me a lick of trouble. Funny enough, the octave switches (which used traditional mechanical buttons, not membrane switches) were the only part of the synth to ever misbehave. Rather ironi...

As mentioned in my CS-15 thread, I've found a paperclip and that was about it.

Regarding my mods for CS-15, i just wanted to let you know a new update will come and it will include high frequency (up to few kHz) LFO modification. Switch ON/OFF on the backs provided. More on that once i complete the PDF. Those looking for the old version of Don Solaris CS-15 Mods can find it h...

Wow. That went downhill fast. Perhaps his dog ate his Zoloft prescription?

One other odd observation about the CS-15 that occured to me after posting.. You can't tell it's a CS-15. Let me rephrase that. There is nothing other than a small model number designation on the requisite serial identification plaque to tell the prospective player or owner that this is a CS-15. Con...

I recently bought a Yamaha CS-15 from fellow VSE member Joey. As I continue exploring it I've come to be really quite fascinated by this machine. It feels like a true child of the '70s with its live controls and chunky build. It looks the part too with a black, white and orange front panel and signa...

In Germany, ze fun ist mandatory. All who do not like ze fun vill be schot!


My old man is from Dusseldorf; I think that earns me the right to mock "mein volk".

One other thought about wood.... It's not as though the wooden end cheeks were a purely Yank hallmark of the '70s and early '80s. Plenty of vintage American gear didn't have exposed wood sides: several Moogs (Micro, Poly, Sonic Six and Multi to name four), the Prophet VS and 2000, all Emulators, som...

I think it's great that people have the option to customize their synths but personally I prefer to keep my synths in their original state as much as possible. I think part of what interests me in vintage synths is the fact that they tell a story about sound design, industrial design and manufactur...

Congratulations. You have succeeded in making me deposit Quaker oatmeal on myself due to a mirthful reaction to your post.

To whom shall I address the cleaning bill?

Voyetra 8. Why ? ...because of keyboard scaling of pulse width modulation amount. The ssm2044 filters certainly don't hurt either... I wish all synths had that feature, so you can have slower LFO or less modulation in lower registers. I know, that's such a great feaure. One doesn't need the "sea-si...

I'm more than happy with my Prophet'08's PWM, but nothing beats my Little Phatty.

Cheers, Joey.

I have a very big, very long post to put up later this week regarding the CS-15. I've become quite taken with it and have a few observations to post. Plus I like to ramble.
