Good condition. Some marks and scratches consistent with age.

“Cheetah MS6 multi Timbral Synthesizer Module.
being sold for spares or (hopefully) repair only.
the screen lights up but does not function as it should.
see pic 3 to see that there is some corrosion which i think is the internal battery. the front has some paint peeled off it too. these are getting quite rare now so its sure worth fixing if you have the know how. these are rated as a very nice synth ,,,,,” Link
“angeboten wird hier ein analoger 6-fach polyphoner und multitimbraler Synthesizer ( 1 HE ) im sehr gutem Zustand, technisch 100 % ok, optisch: wenige Spuren vom Rackeinbau, siehe Fotos. Kommt mit Original Bedienungsanleitung in englisch, der Originalkarton ist auch noch vorhanden. Zusätzlich lege ich einen Adapter ( UK-Stecker auf Euro ) bei.” Link
“MS6 six voice multitimbral so you can play lots of sounds at once from your sequencer/daw. Lovely lush sounding with great strings, pads and classic Oberheim sounding brass. Even has aftertouch from the keyboard too
Basicly the same synth engine as the Oberheim Matrix using exactly the same CEM chips
Has ots of stored patches for you to play with or just make your own. I can supply a print out of the manual or a pdf file
Very nice synth and a great change from the more usual Roland sounds……. i would say its a far better sounding synth and out performs the 106 too. Now getting very hard to find as people are now hanging onto them
connections for midi in/out/thru and audio out. Power unit built in, voltage selection switch
Tested and working but does require a couple of mins to warm up and settle down… thats vintage analogue for ya!” Link

“Cheetah MS6 analogue synthesiser with upgraded MAAD firmware(€42) for better integration into your set-up.
Works great with something like a Behringer BCR2000.
New memory back-up battery.
Some power supply improvements that are detailed in the schematic, but missing from this example when I got it.
2 New Voice IC’s(£15 each)
Tested and working well.
Original Owners Manual.
Sounds brilliant.
The writing on the top is worn away but you won’t see it in a rack anyway.” Link
“The Cheetah MS6 is a rare vintage rackmount synth. It is often compared to an Oberheim Matrix 1000 as well as other popular vintage synths, but honestly has a sound all its own! A very unique analog rack synth. It is in excellent condition and functions perfectly!” Link
“Up for auction is a Cheetah MS6 polyphonic synthesizer. It is a single-rack module and is controlled by MIDI. This synth is similar to the Oberheim Matrix 1000 in sound but the MS6 can be edited from the front panel. There is also hundreds of amazing sounding presets – everything from warm pads and strings to deep bass and brass. The synthesizer is also multi-timbral so you can stack patches to create interesting and unique new sounds. This particular model is in great shape and is working perfectly. It should be mentioned that there is a slight noise from the output but this is common with the MS6 and shouldn’t be any problem. Not much else to say – this is a great, often underrated, analogue synthesizer that’s quickly becoming very rare. ” Link
“Up for auction is a Cheetah MS6 polyphonic synthesizer module. The MS6 is a sought after rack mount synthesizer from the late 80s. The synthesizer is polyphonic and multi-timbral. Very similar to the Oberheim Matrix 1000, the synth can generate lush pads, punchy 80s bass and beautiful analogue strings. The unit is in great condition and is in perfect working order.” Link

“Cheetah S6 synthesiser sound module 19″ rack (not roland or korg!)
.Vintage, rare british made rack synth- has sat in a studio rack amongst other studio gear cince 2002, Used for the “kudos” of owning one, practically unused in practice because i spent all my time dj-ing & recording other peoples music, time to let somene whom is liable to actually use it, own it. Apparently a usefull machine to own, If you are not familiar with the specs etc you can check them on the web etc. It has been tested especially for ebay, At time of testing, (as you can see from picture of actual item) appears to power up, seems to make the correct noises, but the output seems a little bit noisier than expected, no returns on this item, Cosmetically it is in good condition for age with the usual scratches etc. ” Link
“Classic late 80′s polyphonic analogue 19″ rack mounted synth module. Tested and in good working order with a brand new internal backup battery. In reasonable cosmetic condition with some scratches on the top and to some of the lettering. Never been gigged.
Picture shown is the actual item. This has been in the attic for about 15 years and bought new in around 1989. Comes complete with a scanned copy of the manual, but no box.” Link
