Yamaha CS-80 Repair Part 2

video upload by Really Nice Audio

"Can we bring this Yamaha CS80 back to life? Did the fender Rhodes destroy it? Let's find out!
For some reason the audio goes slightly out of sync at the end not sure why?
As a Cs80 novice I did my best to check all its parameters however I feel I would need more time to realise how it works. So this video is more of a record of what I found after the repair. There is more work to be done with this poor synthesiser so a detailed inspection is needed.

This Yamaha CS80 is housed at the University Of West London.

video upload by Cfpp0

"6/14/25 ElectroComp EML 200 + SSL 1520 Segwencer IV + Happy Nerding FM AID

This was a test of the 5U version of Happy Nerding FX AID with the ElectroComp EML 200. It’s processing the master sine wave from the upper EML 200, and modulated by the master triangle from the lower EML 200. The upper EMl 200 ring mod and switch are also being used, with the switch getting pulsed by the lower EML 200 master square wave. The Synthetic Sound Labs 1520 Segwencer IV is also being used, modulated by the lower EML 200 master triangle. The spring reverb is from the EML 200."

Adamsynths Warthog Update & Q&A

via Adamsynths

"Earlier this year at Superbooth, Adamsynths unveiled the Warthog: our total recall analog modular synthesizer.

We had tons of interest and loads of great questions from you — and now we’d love to answer some of the most common ones right here.

Is the Warthog a pre-assembled desktop synth, or a fully modular one I can customize?

Great question! The Warthog is a true plug-and-play analog modular synth. You can choose the modules you want, arrange them how you like, and build a setup that suits your workflow perfectly.

Can I use modules from other manufacturers in the Warthog?

Absolutely. The Warthog case supports standard Eurorack power. Just keep in mind: the RECALL feature only works with official Warthog modules.

Can I put Warthog modules into my existing Eurorack case?

Yes, you can — BUT. Because of the RECALL feature, the Warthog uses a different power and communication system than the usual 16-pin ribbon cable found in most Eurorack setups. That said, we’ll make sure all Warthog modules (and any necessary accessories) are also available separately, without the case.

Can I use Warthog modules together with my current modular system?

Of course! The Warthog fully follows Eurorack standards for all signal connections. It uses the same V/OCT control, and its GATE, TRIG, SYNC inputs and outputs are 5V compatible. Just a reminder: RECALL functionality only works with Warthog modules.

Why are some outputs on the CENTRAL UNIT labeled “D” for digital?

We know this caused a bit of confusion at Superbooth 25. Here’s the deal: all CV outputs are fully analog and operate in ranges like -5V to +5V or 0V to +10V. The “D” outputs — short for “digital” — are used for GATE, TRIG, SYNC, START/STOP, or RESET signals. We call them digital simply because they have two states: ON or OFF, i.e., 0 or 1.

When will we get more detailed info about the Warthog’s specs?

We are working on it! The full technical documentation will be available on our website soon. We will notify you in a newsletter as soon as it is available.

And the big one — when can I pre-order the Warthog and how much will it cost?

Right now, our team is working hard to finalize pricing and prepare for production. There’s still some groundwork to cover, but we’re doing our best every day to get the Warthog into your hands as soon as possible. Hopefully, we’ll be able to share more very soon."
