"Elektor Formant is Moog- like style analog modular synthesizer designed by C. Chapman with 1V/oct. VCO charakteristics. Modules are connected internally together thus synthesizer is playable without using patch cords. Nevertheless, the interconnection has no effect to possibilities of a modular system. Plenty patch cords are attached to the instrument.
This Formant was precisely made in the Switzerland approximately in 1985-88. An appearance and working condition are very good, the synthesizer was serviced, adjusted, new interconnection between modules was made, electrolytic capacitors on the PSU are replaced.
Other accessories: Original documentation with schematics, patch cords, CV and GATE 6.3” conectors on the rear panel. Standard 230V power input. Weight 20kg, 54x61.5x27 (cm)
