This Rhodes Chroma is in excellent condition and performs exactly as it should. It has been fully restored and upgraded by Chroma guru Randel Osborne. Randel has restored many Chromas and also builds the Enabler controller. It’s hard to imagine a better example of this rare instrument: beautiful, modernized and 100% Randel certified.

Restoration included:
- complete synth cleaning, calibration and testing
- voice board servicing
- refinishing of the woodwork
- installation of the modern switching power supply by Luca Sasdelli
- installation of the CPU Plus (CC+) control board (MIDI upgrade with breakout cable)

The keybed is in superb shape, with a comfortable feel between piano and synth action."

"This is a rev. 5, it sounds amazing and while known for its massive sound it is also possible to sculpt some airy-sounding pads as well. I removed the rack ears from the programmer as I used it on the desktop - can reattach them if required.

Also comes with an MCX-1024 (practically impossible to find now) that offers the storage of 16 x M-64C cartridges! It utilizes FRAM non-volatile memory that outperform EEPROM/FLASH in speed while remaining non-volatile unlike the more commonly used SRAM. The banks can be accessed using a 16 position switch. Different banks can be used with different gear."

The Mysterious Quasimidi Sirius Synthesizer (Presets, drums, songs)

video upload by Dawn R

"The Holy Grail of groove synthesizers and the Crown Jewel of the Electraglide band.
The Sirius is a keyboard "groove-synth," featuring a subtractive hybrid-tone-generation synthesizer referred to as DTE ('Difficult To Explain') synthesis introduced in 1997 by Quasimidi. The unit featured both real-time and step sequencers with pattern- and song-modes, capable of acting basic drum machine, groove-box, or sound-module.

The unit is thus 7x multitimbral and has 28-voice polyphony across its 7 tracks, with track selecting a (track-specific) sound within 96 sounds (per bank) of preset- or user-writeable sounds."

• 'East Coast Soul’ — Painting a sunset drenched horizon, East Coast Soul offers an effortless set of electric pianos, vibrant chord progressions and shimmering digital leads.

With eight flexible sample tracks on Circuit Rhythm, beatmakers can immediately play back samples however they choose, whether they’re chopping straight from vinyl, making basslines and melodies, or punching in drum grooves live.

We hope the Circuit Rhythm Sample Expansion Pack will help new musicians get started with sampling, and encourage beatmakers to follow their inspiration, combine their ideas with these stand-out soundpacks and create countless unique tracks."
