Keith donated his Lyra - the mono synth part of the Constellation - to Audities.org in the late 90s. Roger Luther donated his Apollo - the polyphonic part of the Constellation - to Audities around the same time. The last of the Constellation trio - the bass pedal - no longer exists.

The Taurus doesn't exist? I must have been caught in an episode of the Twilight Zone, then. I'll start buying them by the truckload and see what I can do to get them back to you lot.

I'm sorry for a little mistake:
Of course 10% and worse film caps are NOT matched,.........as I'm a non-tech I'm not skilled with these terms :(
The matched film caps to be put into should be 1% but they're rare I've been told and hard to get...........

BTW,.....it's the same with the TR 808, they've also unmatched caps in their Filter sections and obviously sound very often very different one to each other.......................

@thealien666 - I love your 'tape speed' tune on soundcloud! Groovey bends and flangers. The timbre is to die for :D

Thanks MRNUTTY ! I'm glad you enjoyed that. I certainly had fun recording it. Image

And yes, that's slightly distorted Minimoog D lead timbre is simply divine. It's the good old trick of sending the Low Main Output back into the Ext Input of the mixer section, and adjusting the level just on the threshold of feedback oscillation.
