Yamaha CS-50 Previously Owned by LCD Soundsystem?

via this auction

"This CS-50 was previously owned by James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem and housed at DFA for over a decade before it was gifted to John MacLean. You can see it on the DFA records facebook picture history in several shots. It is also featured in Attack Magazine (linked below). According to John it was used on basically every album by artists on the label from 2002 until around 2017 including LCD, Juan, Holy Ghost! etc. but he said it was "a nightmare to upkeep" so he sold it. It was never toured, aside from a handful of MSG shows about a mile from the studio. I told him I guess there isn't a good CS tech in NYC.

Mystery Circuits in Chapel Hill who is arguably the best service shop for vintage synthesizers in the nation completely overhauled the CS-50 in 2018 rebuilding the power supply, recapping all electrolytic capacitors throughout, future proofing the after touch and swapped genuine rebuilt M cards pulled from a CS-80 doner. You could tour with this CS-50 if you wanted to and have zero issues. Being a previous CS-80 owner, I can attest that this CS-50 sounds every bit as good as my old CS-80. It utilizes the same exact cards. It's about 160 lbs lighter than a CS-80 and with that weight loss you only lose the presets, ribbon strip, and 4 voices.

The cosmetic condition is very good, especially for its age. I would say 8.5 out of 10. No structural issues, but it does have a few small marks here and there. I have documented the cosmetic condition accurately in the pictures.

This listing includes the original lid and original legs."

Update: it's worth noting on a CS80 you get two layers or voices per patch, while with the CS50 and CS60 you only get one. You can select two different patches to layer on the CS80. Aside from the other differences noted, a CS50 and CS80 voice is essentially half a voice on the CS80.

via the seller in the listing: "Oberheim TVS-PRO. I acquired this from Xander Singh of Passion Pit earlier this year specifically for an album I was working on and I didn't want to fly or ship my vintage TVS-1. Killer modernized version of the OG but I have no need for it so on the block it goes."

"When Yamaha stayed determined to ride the FM PolySynth wave through the late 80's, the Matrix 6 and 6R were introduced. This is the rack-mounted version of the Oberheim Matrix 6."

TTSH (Arp 2600 clone) meets the Squid

Todd Murray

"This is my latest DIY synthesizer. A V4 TTSH connected to a Toraiz Squid. Basically, this just demonstrates how these synths sound with just 3 VCOs, one of which is also providing a sub-oscillator. Jump to 1:15 to hear the sub-oscillator kick in and about 1:46 to hear all the VCOs. Oh yea... crank this up for best effect. And this build has some alterations to components, etc from the standard TTSH"

Do You Reset your Oscillators?? // Exploring FM on Peak

Ricky Tinez

"Have you ever wondered what Oscillator KeySync does? Well, here's a quick explanation since i use it in a lot of sound design. its such a basic synthesis thing, and rarely makes a difference, but its surely important to know. Peak also has linear FM possibilities using the Mod Matrix, so lets explore Frequency Modulation to make drums, pads, and big FM Bass patches!"
