Weird, modded CS-50 on eBay

Weird, modded CS-50 on eBay

2005-06-26 by David Rogoff

Anybody know what's up with this CS-50?  The guy selling it doesn't. 
There are two big, lighted buttons above the preset panel and four
knobs to the left of the panel controls.  Of course, nothing is
labelled.  It's in L.A., so I'm tempted to check it out in person if
noone else does.

To me it looks like VCO detune controls plus maybe an unison option. The
switches could indicate beat frequencies, just like on the old Polymoog.

Just guessing. anyway, I wouldn\ufffdt buy this one, especially as its reserve
seems rather hefty.

At a guess, unison mode with the 4 VCOs tunable to different pitches.

I got a CS80 in at the moment with a the same kind of mod on it. I agree 
with Crow that it seems to have unison and four voice micro tunning. But I 
am intrigued by the yellow button on the lower panel. Does it have a chorus 
addon too?
