When I was a kid growing up, My Dad bought me a Casio MT-65, which was they keyboard that got me hooked. I guess from about 1984 I subscribed to the US Version (I lived in the UK) of Keyboard magazine. In the mid to late eighties, keyboard demos came on flexi-records on the inside of the magazine. I collected them for several years. I had a flexi-demo of a CHROMA….

I read your post today; it was a nostalgic ride through the late 70’s and early eighties. I had a chance once to play a CHROMA, when I was kid and having only seen kid’s boards, the 10 minutes I spent with that machine (on a trip to London, which in itself was a massive thing when I was about 13) stayed with me for years, until I worked the whole summer in 1985, 70’s hours a week to buy my first real synth, which was a KORG POLY-800.
You should consider opening a Synth Museum, I for one would fly to the US for another 10 minutes on a CHROMA, or 20 minutes on a PPG Wave….. But then I was convinced they made my crappy playing actually sound better. Which alas, I know not to be true.
But I have decided to get a TYROS 3, even though I know I will hate the Styles. It ticks the rest of my boxes.
Thanks for sharing
