Yamaha CS-80

As if I didn't have enough huge synths in my living room, this arrived a week ago:




I haven't seen one of these in about a dozen years, I think. When I moved in with Synthfool, there was one there that had suffered water damage. It couldn't be repaired, so we sacrificed it so other CS-80's could live. First time I ever cannibalized a synth, too! :)

This one will be kept intact, though. :)

Yamaha CS-15 with mods

One of the latest projects:





Besides all the standard work most synths receive, it also got these mods:

Analog ring modulator (to external input's normal)
Range switch for LFO. Normal or high freq (to 7Khz!)
Auto-trigger switch for LFO to Envs.
Env LEDs colors changed and their brightness now controlled by their actual envelopes.
Env 1 CV to VCO modulation control added.
Various cosmetic changes.
