There's also been much crazy talk about a mod for the trustly old poly 800...

If anyone's got a decent link to that, it may be a neat idea.

did stumble across a page a few weeks ago, however - in my haste for more info, didn't bookmark it!

 :(

computers - they're all a bit alien to me.

well, we've been promising it for about a year now but we hope to have a standard set of SH101 mods available this month. They will include all the mods in the guide plus an LFO trigger input if we can find a source of DPDT switching jack sockets and possibly an envelope to VCO pitch control.

Would these work with the MC-202 Paul? In a spirit of pure enquiry of course

Well that all depends on if we are about to have an ebay based  bidding war doesn't it ;)

but yes, outside of the sequencer part, most of the 202 synth circuit appears to be virtually identical to the 101. You might need to do a bit of schematic comparison to make sure of positioning but the same kind of mods are definately possible with the 202.

You're safe there Paul, I'm completely and utterly skint at teh moment, but i do wnat some nice roland analogue action and teh idea of an MC-202 with the extra mods is rather tasty.

Indeed it is, and if people would stop insisting on outbidding me on MC202's and SH09's the world would be a better place  >:(

at least my world would be anyway................... bastards!
