nypo « For connoisseurs only ... »
Published on 02/05/11 at 13:43modular and repatchable as you wish
Monophonic
no connection
UTILIZATION
Not so simple compared to today's beasts,
You need to understand subtractive synthesis and some basic electronics will be a plus!
If you know of solder jack, you can make cables in Y for more possibility still (eg to send a signal on 2 inputs).
Clearly this is something for connoisseurs- if you are not, you will not make it.
Of course, no memory, no midi, nothing like what makes the beloved charming (?) keyboards of today.
SOUNDS
Much interest is in modularity, the ability to tweak the cabling in all directions to find the sounds.
Searching carefully you can create great sounds with many harmonics.
If not for the musicality, bof! the monophony no longer amuses me.
OVERALL OPINION
I bought one in 1979, I do not know the price of a new one at the time and then after 3 years I made the mistake of selling it to buy I do not know what other beast!
2 days ago my daughter brings me a borrowed one from a friend. A MS20, 1982 that slept in an attic for over 20 years and saw the dust ...
After cleaning I reconnect it and I find myself 31 years ago.
The sounds are really good although a little cold compared to a Nord Rack, so it is a bit tight.
When I see the prices of second hands, really I want to scream with laughter, for 800 euro (Audiofanzine argus) run to buy something else (a prophet 5) for 200 euro it's worth it!
