"The Keytek line was an attempt at reviving Siel around 1987. There were several models produced, the CTS-1000 (boring 8 voice synth, preset only), CTS-2000, CTS-5000 (piano-style keyboard), CTS-400 (4-octave keyboard, similar to CTS-1000?), and at several home keyboards (I know of the K-50 and K-60, perhaps there were more). As far as I can tell, the CTS-2000 is the only interesting model. The Keytek line didn't last long, as Siel went out of business and was bought by Roland. It's a fairly ugly synth, Obviously influenced by the DX7 design with membrane buttons and nasty 80's colors accenting its gray case. And it's fairly heavy considering the case is plastic."

Oh shit..I remember the full pages ads for these in Keyboard mag in 87. Was one of the first magazines I bought when trying to figure out what synth I was going to save up for with all those lawns to cut.
ReplyDeleteCTS 2000, my first synth. Fond memories, if I would have some extra space I would buy one just for sentimental reasons.
