International Musician Rhodes Chroma Review

Title link takes you to the January 1983 review reprinted on the Rhodes Chroma site.

"The Chroma is a very interesting chap, as it doesn't quite fit into the Prophet, OBXA, JP8 league, nor does it fit into the Fairlight, Synclavier, PPGs ot. It seems to be somewhere between both categories, which may or may not be a good thing, only time/sales will tell? Despite the fact that it offers far more versatility than most synthes it is a pain to edit. You have to use the manual to remember all the information, unless you've got a photostatic memory, which I definitely haven't."

Update from Jimmy in the comments: "Fun Trivia - I believe the reviewer was the same Paul Fishman who played synths for Re-Flex (The Politics of Dancing)."

  2. He later became the nefarious fashion designer Mugatu, who brainwashed male model Derek Zoolander into attempting an assassination of the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

    Oh wait, that was the keyboardist for Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Never mind.
