This video is incredibly cool. The story, the modifications, the Behringer BCR2000 involvement, etc. You are a lucky man. I hope I can do much the same.

there is a record that was on youtube from the 80s I guess - each track was a different synth. Chroma was one I think, also the Roland MC-8 - if anyone knows what the album or artist was

Not a criticism, but I never see/hear any demo of the Chroma's amazing controller routings. You can assign 16 simultaneous commands to either of the (2) levers, and do is in bi-polar fashion. In addition the routing to the (2) modulation pedals is on equal footing( no pun intended) although not bi-polar. Lastly, there are the damper pedals and foot-switch which are totally programmable as well. All combined, this leads to extreme changes in the sound on-the-fly. I don't know of any other analog-poly that does this to this extent.

Dear David, wow - a very nice demo. I have the Chroma and Expander, but the Chroma has the case problem - I think like your Chroma too, so the paint from the Chroma wood combinds with the foam of the big case. So I think to let it sandblasting, or I buy another wooden part. I like your design very much, which kind of wood is it now, you said the original is cherrytree, but it is originally bright es well?

This is a beautiful instrument, sadly underrated, mainly due to the lack of the "knob factor", but its voice architecture is way more complex than that of the mythical CS-80, and has thicker -pole LPF's. Mine has the CC+ update, and I got an Enabler for it, and let me tell you, it gives my CS80 a fun for its money.

Do you know the brand name of the shocks on your vehicle that you used to drive the Chroma to the shop for repairs, because that's the only detail you left out on this endless self-indulgent diatribe of useless information. Whats with all the reverb? The Chroma sounds nothing like this.
