Update via ST: "Most of ppl don't know,but there are 2 different system 700's released each with different electronics.

They both sound differend ,one is more punchy and has better filters as the other (thats why there are different
opignions between those that own or did try a 700 (like stated in the Peter Forest AZ books)

Differences are in following modulles: ADSR,RING,VCA And FILTERS

VCA old systems are noisy low dynamic CA3080 based
The later uses the same OTA's IC's as in the 100M

RING,The old system uses a MC1496 IC's design ,not the case in the
later one models that use a different design.

ADSR old poor slow attack in old systems
later system uses same 100M design

FILTERS,in the old systems poor ceramic caps are used al over in both filters
Later systems they upgraded with hi Q styrene caps everywhere
the resuslt is the later system filters sound more accurate and give in combination
with the better VCA's and ADSR's a more punchy sound

I would describe the old system ,more organic sounding and the later
dynamic and punchy

If i have to choose ill take for sure the later systems,they realy sound much better in the end (more bass to)

How u can see u have an old or new 700? ->

Pull out the modulles and check lol (check some pics in attach),no in fact there is also a physical difference from the outside but cannot be seen well on pictures:

Old systems have plain white graphics,while the later systems there is a 'siver-ish' glow in the color of the graphics."

RSF Modular 11: Largest collection worldwide?

flickr By jobenbelgium

"I think that this is the biggest RSF Modular 11 system in the world.Not seen many of these since the 15 years i'm playing synthesizers/ modulars. Also notice the RSF Polyclavier,wich gives you 8x cv-gate, sequencer, arpeggiator. The best known product by RSF was the Kobol Expander, which was also available in a monophonic keyboard,and there was also the bigger Polykobol, but these have been built in low quantitys."

Update via tesl@ in the comments: "The biggest RSF system is an custom full 8 voice,full modular patchable and with memorys aswell for the knobs and patches (yes!) its hosted all in 19'' format racks. Only 2 prototype systems where made. Peter B. was one of the conceptors.

The systems still excist,on is in Belgium the other in USA."

And via D' Naab 136:
"These big 8 voice systems with memory are not modular 11 systems.
These are systems composed of 8 x expander I's, 2 x expander II's, 2 x prorammers and polyclavier.
More than 2 exist:
-I know of one here in Belgium.
-One of these monsters was sold last year for only 9000 EUR in France.
-Another one was also up for auction at vemia last year."

"Keyboard 184 on top with it's 2 original boxes and the original manual.It has 4 x cv and 4 x gate.Both cv and gate,Arpeggio clock in,Bender cv out and Total out provide both mini--jack as normal jack.So it can be used with the System 100M(mini-jack plugs) as with the System 700(normal jack plugs)."
