Hi Max,
one of the few digital synths out there I´d really love to own, just like a
DX-1. I played a GS-1 ages ago (I think I was 16 around then), and I was
blown away by how musical it is. Timbrally severely limited but so
expressive, and so full of punch... very much like a CS80. Like Eno once
said about the CS "it just has six great sounds but I´d rather have six
great sounds than sixty mediocre ones". Same thing goes for the GS-1.
Unfortunately there isn´t much info on the net, and mostly you´ll encounter
it on some Vangelis-related sites (or Toto, but let´s keep quiet about
that...). The GS-2 tends to show up from time to time but mostly it´s way
overpriced or not complete, or both.
Stephen

> Hi all
> ANybody knows a well documented site about this preset synth? I went
through a number of them and all were poor. Looking especially for a
detailed description of the synth path ( the only thin I know it it had
4xcarriers + 4xmodulators coupled two by two ).
