Anyone know more about this one? SYNLAB?

Update: some audio on KlangBureau (look for Synlab FM bits). Some notes via the AH archives:

“Again from the nord modular list, this might be of interest to everyone. Pics of the synlab and closeups of some modules can be found here. Looks like a nice copy of the arp 2500 design with many more types of modules and more features per module. Very impressive indeed! And from what i've read, it fills an entire room and it cost about 350,000 to build back in the day.”

“SYNLAB - big-as-a-house modular. Rare as hen's teeth. 'Probably the most impressive synthesiser ever made'”

"just read the book again [A-Z of Analogue Synths] and it wasn't that studio at
all but the ICEM computer music institute in Essen. Also, the name of the synth was SYNLAB."

Update: be sure to check out the comments of this post for more info and links.
