"After much deliberation and sadness I'm selling my CS-80. Just been serviced by Kent Spong so if you need to know tech info about what he did you're best getting in touch with him. I know that it works 100% and he fitted a ribbon controller which it lost at some point.

The CS I've owned since the early 90s. Used it sparingly until around 2006 when I got back into the sound of it. Massive service by Kent around then, its featured on an album I did. "The Meeting" by Hudson Fall. All the synths are the CS80. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbcuasedhH8 you can see it and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9vZVPnPrBo&feature=related you can hear it (its not the organ thing i'm pretending to play)!!"

Andy Wig - EML Creodonta Dance

YouTube via arthurpainter — June 21, 2010 — "A simple dance for a simple beast, a large reptile that saw its coming and going during the age of dinosaurs. My EML 200 provides an apt analogy, having been wiped out by the introduction of cheap digital synths, a victim of its own simplicity. An enjoyable and effectively patched "beast" nonetheless."

Casiotone 701 Mystery Mod Discovered

via RYAN:
"This is a Casiotone 701, that was outfitted with a simple mod and sealed off to the outside.

What happened was...
I was playing a gig with my band, and my bandmate spilled wine on the keyboard during our set. It immediately failed. On our set break, I decided to open it up to try to wipe up some of the wine on the inside and see if it might come back to life, and that is when I discovered this after market modification and accompanying note/diagram. It was wrapped inside a spongy wrapping and stuffed underneath the key bed with the note rubber banded to it. The mounting hole was boarded up with an inconspicuous black panel; Thus, I never really noticed anything suspicious. I had a chance to get the keyboard up on the bench and trouble shoot the wine spill. Basically, it dried itself out into a functioning order. (I never trust a repair if you didn't do anything to fix it.) But anyway, this mod is very simplistic - incorporating individual 1/4 outputs for drums, rhythm and keyboard, respectively. The most promising feature is a keyboard fuzz output. They also took the time to wire a computer pin out to the keybed, some familiar but ancient looking 20 or so pin connector. I'm not sure if I will be able to utilize their function.
Are there avid mystery-mod cult practitioners that you know of who would hide such a thing?"

If anyone out there knows, feel free to comment.
