"The CS-15 is a pretty flexible analog synthesizer, thanks to it having two of everything - except for the one LFO (which goes up to 1000 hz - fast!). The envelopes are fast and snappy, though not as powerful as the ones on the lesser model, the one-oscillator CS-10. But you can not demand much more from such a cheap and still well built synthesizer. Of course you are left wishing for some features - for example it is lacking in inter-oscillator modulation, no cross-mod, sync or the likes despite two oscillators." click here for the full post including mp3s on infosmash.

The LinnDrum II

Looks like BoomChick will now be called the LinnDrum II. Images send my way via Aaron.

Some info via this VSE thread send my way via MG (note the images are from this month's Future Music magazine):

"LinnDrum II
So no BoomChik but the name now is the LinnDrum II!

Article is in the new Future Music with nice pics (it looks quite different from the Boomchik pics):
2 versions of the new Drum Machine to be Launched:
1 All Digital with Sample playback
2 Digital and Analogue (IE version above but with 4 Voice analogue synthesis-and Evolver type bits and pieces) and 27 extra knobs

Some details:
OS emphasises usability and realtime performance
MPC and 808 style programming on 16 sensitive pads
16 MB flash RAM expandable by compact Flash
Pitch-space synthesis on analogue side
4 outputs plus 4 Analogue outputs (on analogue model)
2 Audio Inputs for processing etc
USB/MIDI in/out
Various processing options and its own individual 'sound'"

"modifications from the original specs:
* On/off switch added to back
* Custom face made by a member of the x0x forum
* Rear panel painted with durable black wrinkle paint
* Interior connecting wiring done with wires rather than flimsy ribbon cables included in kit
* Bass boost mod

From the site:
The x0xb0x is not just another MIDI-controlled TB-303 clone. x0xb0x is a full reproduction of the original Roland synthesizer, with fully functional sequencer. The sequencer can be programmed just like the original 303 and can be used to control other synthesizers via any of its various output formats. 128 banks of track memory and 64 banks of pattern memory are stored in onboard EEPROM, no battery-backup is needed!

- MIDI in, out, and thru
- DIN Sync (in or out, selectable)
- CV and Gate (1/8" jacks)
- Audio: headphone, mix-in and line-level out (1/4" jacks)
- Knobs: Tuning, Cutoff, Resonance, Env Mod, Decay, Accent, Tempo, Volume
- Waveforms : Square, Saw
- Computer Controlled: Can save/edit stored patterns and tracks via USB
- 16 step sequencer
- Storage: 128 patterns, 16 tracks saved on an EPROM chip
- Random mode: fill a pattern bank with random notes
- Keyboard mode: act like a monophonic MIDI keyboard"
