The MR-15 is based on an arrangement of modules requested by Dr. Thomas L. Rhea (formerly of Moog Music) for his class on modular synthesis at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. We thought this a practical assortment of functions, so we are now offering it as a standard arrangement.

The MR-15 is an ideal choice for institutions reviving their much needed and requested, modular synthesis programs. Studies have shown that students who take even a brief course in "hands on" modular synthesis, understand all forms of synthesis better, analog, virtual analog, DSP and even sampling.

The MR-15 uses a normalized patching method - the most often used output-to-input connections are internally pre-wired with clearly defined graphics. Patch cords, when used, will automatically disconnect the pre-wired patches. All signal paths are illustrated in clear-as-crystal panel graphics that aid "block-diagramming" of complete patches. This graphic presentation of the signal flow is not only an important teaching asset, but also leads the user into exploration of patches that might otherwise have been overlooked. Easily expandable: As C.M.S. continues to develop more exotic modules, You can expand and develop your palette of colors.
