Hey Matrix:

You should post some clips for the mod CS-60....

BTW does anyone knows where I can find schematics for a CS-60? Also
are there schematics for adding CV/gate outputs?

Thanks....

rather plays up to three voices at a time. So you can have an
arpeggiation driving three OSCs at the same time. If you switch 8
to 4 to try and double that, it seem like a note hangs rather than
having a 6 OCS arp going. Also, the Tune knob to the right of 2
only affects 2 and the knob to the right of 3 only affects 3. There
is no Tune knob for AUX 1.

IN and Trigg mod on the back. If you feed an Arpeggiation through
the CV IN, each of the three voices that are switched will sound.
The Tune knobs adjust the pitch of each. So you can have an
arpegiation going, adjust the picts for each and play along with
it. Very nice.

The sound is much fuller layered but obviously you get cut down to 4
voices. Mine came this way, so I couldn't help implementing the mod
myself.
