The sound you get from it is seriously full and fat. There are pitch controls for both oscillator 1 and 2 so they can be detuned from each other for an even more fatter sound.
The synthesizer in short:
two oscillators: choose from triangle or squarewave - octave low/high switch per oscillator, volume control for osc 2 ad/adsr
vcf - lowpass, bandpass and highpass! These 3 filters can be used at the same time and each have their own level control!
However this synth has a defect: the ad/adsr isn't working. Also when you turn the resonance to zero, the volume drops. Everything else on this synthesizer works fine, but the adsr doesn't work so the sound goes on hold (keeps playing) until you step on another key/pedal (because it has no volume/filter control by the adsr). 20kg"If you know more about this one, feel free to comment. via Danny.
Update via Peter Forrest: "There's a current firm called Delec which makes high-end digital intercoms. It seems to have been founded by a guy called Donald Dilocker - who started off doing live sound and founding a recording studio in the late 70s. Perhaps this was an early project of his."
What a nice looking layout and great knobs - which is probably why its already had more than a few bids..that and because everyone is assuming that the ADSR problem can simply be fixed by replacing that hold switch.
