Yamaha CS-40M Program Stepper Mod

via Akikaze

"Here's an interesting mod I have had installed into my Yamaha CS-40M. It uses the portamento pedal input. A stereo plug is inserted. Portamento input is still available using tip-sleeve and the stepper using ring-sleeve. The program stepper can step backward and forward through its memories, one at the time. Depressing the pedal for one second makes the program step forward; depressing it for about two seconds makes the program step backward. Jumpers are available for selecting a normal open or a normal closed switch (1), for stepping through one of either bank or both banks (2) and for stepping forard or forward and backward (3). Here are some pictures and documentation."

Akai VX600 Analog VX matrix synthesizer

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Akai VX 600 37-note Analog matrix synthesizer. It has been compared to a Oberheim Expander due to its Curtis VCA chipset. Otherworldly bleeps & bloops, thunderous growls & other strange noises can be found as well as some really lush strings, hard hitting brass, & thick tasty bass. It's a rare beast & and it does show a little bit of wear (a few scratches, the plastic has faded a little), but everything functions as it should to the best of my knowledge. The 4 pots on the left were designed to be used exclusively with the wind controller. AFAIK only the BEND pot has been found to actually affect certain patches without it, and even then only a little though there may be a setting that can be made to give it more range..." Anyone confirm?
