A range of effects improvements brings new tonalities with the addition of Chorus Modes, Flanger, Phlanger, new effects modulation destinations and Lo-Fi delay
"Brain damage is an interesting eurorack mixer that makes use of a touch The Brain labyrinth four channels that you can mix by your hands or fingers or a metal sponge you can change the volume from the outputs .or you can’t control this volume by cv. You can make organic mix of sounds By touching Or you can mix Experimental voltages A lot of possibilities"
Colossus slim has been designed to elegantly stack on top of a Colossus classic for a grand double-height system.
If you already have a Colossus classic, you can still buy the slim at a later date and stack this on top - or just keep it separate.
Both work as stand-alone systems, but can be cross patched together, or with other 3rd-party synths.
A double system is supplied as 2 separate units. You will need at least 2 people to lift the slim on top. A 3rd is recommenced for moral support.
The slim is secured in places by a selection of bolts, forming one rigid unit.
AS100 Colossus ‘Classic’
This is the original and best system - the full console version. It comes with a CRT scope as standard.
AS200 Colossus ‘Slim’
A small footprint version of the classic - taking over 50% less desk space. Features all the same audio and modulation circuits of the classic.
AS200 comes with an LCD two-channel scope as standard. CRT is available as an optional upgrade.
The matrices are smaller and are totally independent. They are not internally wired. This can be seen as an advantage (it’s a matter of your personal needs) since you can patch external gear into the matrices. The matrices are half-height compared to the Classic’s.
AS200’s mixer has more inputs.
As the slim loses the touch keyboards, play using external MIDI to CV keyboards (such as Arturia KeyStep), or using a MIDI to CV converter. Slim retains the 64-step analogue sequencer. So sequence with this and/or external CV sequencers."

My favorite song from RUSH from the Album Signals (1982)
I used here the Oberheim OB-X Synthesizer for the pads and the main synth riff. The bass is made with the Moog Taurus and I used the Minimoog for the lead sound parts."
