Analog synthesizer repair, parts, sales, and innovation. I buy broken synthesizers!
In the last part of this series, we repaired the power supply & recapped this lovely Rhodes Chroma. Today I show you some of the upgrades I made to the Rhodes Chroma, and we have a listen to some of the many sounds the Chroma is capable of.
My usual disclaimer: none of the sample sounds played are intended to be musical, I am not demonstrating my musical ability (or total lack thereof), just showing some of the sounds the Chroma can make.
In the last video we figured out why this Rhodes Chroma wouldn’t work. In this video, we make the repair to the power supply as well as recap the synth and clean up some corrosion on the CPU board.
Viewer submissions for new time-lapse soldering music is welcome!

A Synth MacGyver was at work in this ARP Omni 2 and replaced a broken thick steel key stop with a flimsy pinball leaf switch. Guess what...? It didn't work...
