EMS Synthi E

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction, including one of the inside.

Details:
The EMS Synthi E was a basic synthesizer designed for educational use from 1975 by the EMS boys in Cornwall. I believe that there were only around 200 of these things made and they are pretty rare now! This one is number 147! It's in great condition hardly a mark on it however, it might need a bit of cleaner on some of the faders as there is a slight scratchy sound when moving some of them. The mixer level 2 fader may also need reseating as it seems a tiny bit wobbly!. There are 11 of the original patch cables to go with this thing too including 2 Y cable splitters. The thing sounds WEIRD but ultra cool. Only needs 12 big 1.5V Eveready batteries and your away! If you want to learn a bit more type "Synthi E" into google and check out some of the sites. WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE

MAIN FEATURES INCLUDE:
* Input Amplifier with low (Microphone) and high (line) level inputs.
* Envelope Follower providing a voltage proportional to the amplitude of the input.
* Oscillator 1 with true exponential voltage control of frequency and three simultaneous output waveforms (sine, triangle and voltage controlled pulse)
* Oscillator 2 for slow control voltages such as glissando or vibrato.
* Filter/Oscillator 3 with v.c. low, high and band pass filter or pure sine wave.
* Modulator for envelope shaping or ring modulation. Noise Generator.
* Trapezoid Generator for multiple simultaneous trapezoid waveforms. These may be used for envelope shaping (trigger mode) or for low frequency waveforms (free run mode).
* Manual-Slide tape Controllers (2) for obtaining control voltages. One slide-tape is stepped and may be used as a keyboard and the other for variable control. One provides a trigger pulse. Both may be temporarily marked or written on.
* Inverter to invert control voltages or signals.
* Monitor Amplifier and Loudspeaker with two input mixer faders
