RSF Kobol Expander

Snip from the details: "It's very well laid out & intuitive to use and the default signal path is printed on the front panel (though damn near every function can be re-routed with a simple patchcord). Has a lot of cool voltage control that one doesn't normally see outside of a very well specified modular--- VC envelopes, filter resonance, LFO, VCO waveform, VCO amount to filter (!), etc, etc. And, of course it has the SSM 2040 filter, in my opinion the best sounding lowpass filter ever (beats the Moog 904A by a hair in my book). I had mine mounted in a rack below the CP-251 and VX-351 CV expander from my Moog Voyager and had a hugely flexible, ridiculously powerful and compact full-blown modular system. I highly suggest the purchaser invest in a Moog CP-251, as it adds much needed mults and Sample & Hold and makes a perfect companion to the Kobol."

  1. All the patching stuff is cute, but the basic sounds have a lot of integrity. It's one of the few synths other than the Minimoog that can do a convincing bass. Very woody, almost acoustic. If you're planning to rackmount it, beware... it may look like 4 spaces but it's actually a little bigger. You have to leave some space before you screw the next thing into the rack.
