Synthesizer Modifications

Title link takes you to Synthesizer Modifications. Scroll down when you get there for a list of modification and images.

BTW, before you go modding away consider the following comments on AH:

via Martjin:

"Let's hope that the kit I got slipped through AS quality control somehow, otherwise I'd say that these kits aren't worth the money. Nevertheless the CP and HH mods are very interesting, but the Tom mods are very uninspiring."

Via Ryan:
"I'll second the pondering AS quality control. i had a tr808 with kenton midi and the AS tonal mod. the tonal mod imho destroyed the 808's sound. the 808 sounds perfect as is. you don't have to mess with it. once you mess with it, it starts sounding all sorts of cheap ;("

Via Jason:

"i'll "third" that: i would highly advise against Analogue Solutions for tonal modifications (they are not done with musicality or usefulness in mind), and in general i think their quality control standards are very low. not only that, but if you try to complain about the low quality, customer service is terrible: "the customer is always wrong" might be an appropriate slogan. too bad, because their products and services sound great "on paper", and sometimes they get it right... but not often enough IMO."

  1. I definitely agree with those comments re their mod's, and from what I've seen of friends modules I'd say the build quality applies to their modular. one of modules practically had to be rebuilt from scratch

  2. Analog Solution's owner ought to pay attention to these comments.

  3. I got a modification done with my tr-606 and i am really happy with it.
    My 606 got now trigger outputs for all sounds. And trigger leds to show witch chanels get triggerd. Now the days i use the 606 most times to clock my analogue sequencers and other stuff witch use trigger sources. It also got the the modification wit the noise output from the hihat circuit i am really happy with it!

    There i am using it to controll a wiard sequantizer and vco i just got. and made quickly a little demo with it.

    Here are some pics of just the 606

    I am really thinking about another one because i could use more 5 volt triggers. And perhaps i want a module to control the gate time.

  4. Cool! I see a new post coming with tomorrow's set. : ) You don't have any samples of that noise output by chance do you? If so send it my way and I'll add it to the post.

  5. Hey Matrix

    I am not able to record something now it's just the output of the noise generator (continiously noise).
