[sdiy] poor man's alternative to a CS-80?

[Jorn Bilse]

Yes, the CS-60 is a great machine, pretty much overlooked, and they cost a
fraction of the CS-80. Don't get put off by the single oscillator as it's got
very good PWM sounds. Alterntively, if the PWM is not enough I suppose it would
be possible to mod it to play two voicecards with each key, then you would only
have 4 instead of 8 voice polyphony but fatter sounds with a bit of detune (the
voicecards can of course be tuned individually). If I ever get the time it's
something I would like to try doing on mine as a switchable option only, because
it's such a nice machine as it is.

You could always just get a CS-60.
