>Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew more about the following mod:
>http://www.matrixsynth.com/CS60mod.gif.  The 8/4 switch changes it
>to a 4 voice synth with 2 OSCs per voice.  The other switches seem
>to allow some sort of hold function; if you have one switched down
>you can play a note a few times and it will hold so you can play
>along on other synths.  Unfortunately if you try to play along on
>the CS60 itself, the note being held will eventually be replaced
>with another note you played - the magic number of notes to change
>the held note seems to me 3 or 4 notes with 4 more often.  It's
>really odd.  Twisting any of the tune knobs next to them will adjust
>the tuning of the note.  The tune knob next to the 8/4 switch seems
>to offset the tuning of the OSCs until they come back an octave or
>so higher, it's an interesting effect.  The other knobs seems to
>affect tunning as you play as well.  They have slightly different
>effects on tuning as if the right knob has more of an effect on the
>right of the keyboard while the center knob has more of an effect on
>the left, however both affect the entire range with the switches off
>while only their respective range with the switch on and the note
>held.  It's odd.  Note that the two center switches have a label of
>AUX.  I still need to experiment with all of this.  Just curious if
>someone out there knows exactly what this mod is supposed to do
>other than the obvious doubling of voices.  I feel like I'm staring
>through a fence that looks focused but a little off only to find
>that my persepective was off and the fence is actually further away
>(that stereograph effect).  Also, there is a 1/4" CV and Trig on the
>back.  One of my guesses is that these are ins so you can trigger it
>from a sequencer and play with the switches and knobs.  Kind of like
>you would with the individual voices of a Mono/Poly.
