"Warmest smoothest richest pad poly synth out there, all you have to do is use a low pass filter (or EQ if in DAW) to bring down the highs. You can analog/infinite detune 3 oscillators which opens up a whole world of subtlety, and you can hold/tape down as many notes as you like which is amazing. Very different structure than most poly synths.

This synth has also been modified to have individual level controls for all 5 tones. This brings the customizations of pads to a very fine level. The hookups inside would also work just as well for 5 direct outs if you wanted that, and also as a location for putting direct INs to use the great chorus. You can then still keep the pots. Anyways, you can build whatever you want with these wires if you are moderately DIY savvy.

I can also delete the mod if you prefer to just not have those extra controls. I can also prepare the wiring inside to be reduced but ready for your own buildout… maybe you want to drill holes in the actual synth face to mount the 5 pots. It’s all pretty easy since the electronic and wiring part is already done.

I am also happy to offer a custom installation of the 5 pots directly into the face or wood somewhere to your specifications. No added cost for this. You can pick the pots if you like, and have them shipped to me to install them. Then you can choose whatever knobs/caps you like to go on your pots. If you wanted a more elaborate mod build we could talk about a fee.

I did some basic maintenance keeping pots and switches internally clean and noise/scratch free. So this synth sounds great. No issues.

There is an old mod/fix that someone did where they replaced the plastic Percussion button with a different kind of metal switch. Changes nothing about the performance. Maybe the old plastic button had broken."
