That's one expensive synth.

"Here is a fantastic Yamaha CS80 with midi kit installed. The CS80 is in a league of its own, with naturally detuning oscillators that add a richness and mass that is unmistakably CS80. Famously used on the Blade Runner soundtrack, and by Brian Eno, Daft Punk, Genesis and Toto, the CS80 is capable of a ridiculous amount of sounds. This synth has had the power supply rebuilt, is impeccably maintained and tuned, has original case and stand, original printed tech, tuning and operation manuals, and is remarkably clean for its age."

"Before the last remnants of Krell civilization disappeared into the great temporal cataclysm, a cadre of travellers escaped into the fifth dimension where they became forever known as the PolyCube.
Only the haunting strains of their sound-art remains to herald their exodus."

Soundfly Introduces Chiptune Crash Course

MATRIXSYNTH sponsor Soundfly has introduced a new course on creating Chiptune music.

"Online music school Soundfly has just launched a new free one-of-a-kind course to teach DIY musicians how to make music using the sound chips of old video game systems, such as the Game Boy. It's taught by critically acclaimed chiptune artist Chipocrite. He has performed nationally at major events, such as Vans Warped Tour; provided soundtracks for video games, online videos, and commercials, including a nationally-run GameStop ad; recorded numerous albums, including the award-winning 2011 release "Hit and Run"; and appeared on talk shows, among other accolades.

By the end of part one, students will be able to program their own version of the C major scale — a key first step in creating more elaborate songs. Part two, which is launching soon after, will dive into more complicated arrangements using four channels. The course is mobile-compatible and can be accessed for free by anyone anywhere in the world at the following link: https://soundfly.com/courses/getting-started-with-chip-music. Students don't need anything but a computer and an internet connection."
