> Both CS-15 & CS-15D are mono-PHONIC, but they're both bi-TIMBRAL ...
Thanks Doug. I got confused by someone's comment about the CS-15 being
possibly duo-phonic. I can see how the knob 1/2 and preset 1/2 would lead
one to "think" of it that way.

I see. I think the mixers are a huge feature on the CS-15. You can be
bi-timbral as you say in actually TWO different configurations.
One: would be one VCO, one VCF, one VCA, one EG per timber. Or...
Two: both VCOs on one timbre and noise or external VCOs on the other timbre

Yep. For a simple mono-synth, it is a sweet puppy.

Yes, I have a MS-20, but I am about ready to part with it. LAst two on
E-bay have sold for $1200-1400 range. I don't like it THAT much.
