Synergy II and Kaypro II Computer

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction. Note this Synergy is not working.

Details: "The Synergy II+ is famous as the synthesizer that Wendy Carlos used on the legendary recording "TRON" [actually it might have been the GDS according to this] and "Beauty in the Beast", the Synergy took place of Wendys Moog modular system on these recordings. The Synergy is a Phase Modulation/Additive synthesizer. Phase Modulation is similar to FM found on the popular synthesizers like the Synclavier and Yamaha DX instraments synths however the Synergy has FAR more settings and tones when it comes to crafting the ultimate in synthesized music.
The Phase Modulation algorithms are user defined with up to 16 oscillators available.
The envelopes have up to 16 stages/per osc, and are loopable.
Program/sounds consists of 2 'boundaries' which are 2 separate timbres.
The keyboardist can morph between these timbres via velocity and key number.
Voice allocation is highly advanced, allowing for very complex keyboard splits/layers/voice cycling.
There are many advanced features on the DK SYNERGY II that have never been equaled or surpassed in other synthesizers of the era. The DK SYNERGY II synthesizer originally retailed for around Six Thousand 6$K and the adittional kaypro II computer to accompany it around Thirteen hunderd dollars $1.3K."
