Rhodes Chroma Service Manual Now Online

Via Chris Ryan on the Chroma list:

"The entire Service Manual (1983 Rhodes edition) is now available on the site, complete with large format schematics and drawings in PDF format. link

Thanks to David Clarke for advice and for reviewing the content, as well as providing the equation graphics for the Circuit Descriptions page.

As this was a significant effort--25,000 words manually transcribed and a pro scanning job on the schematics--I may consider this update a "special summer double issue" so I can devote more time to some other projects, including the Chroma software for Mac OS X I've been working on.

Chris"

Very cool. I am continuosly blown away by the Rhodes Chroma Group and Site. More synths could use support like this.

Update via Frédéric:
"I was surfing this morning in some forums and I have seen that. I love the dali-esque way of this ad."

Something tells me my friends Scott and Patty will finally get a kick out of one my posts. They aren't synth heads, but they are from Vermont.

This one's for you Scott and Patty.

Shot via Doctor Bombay. That's one lucky and happy looking kid. : ) Be sure to check out my two previous posts on Stephen Teller aka Doctor Bombay: 1, 2.

BTW, Stephen is taking requests and input for another video. Being the synth heads we are my guess is we all want to see more of his vintage gear. Title link takes you to his website. Go to the Gallery and blow up some of those images. Take a look at his synths and feel free to make some requests on what you might like to see in a video. Personally I'm game for anything that features and shows particular synths as they are being played, just like in his previous video. Feel free to post requests in the comments of this post.
