"This is a vintage synthesizer from the German company, Wersi. As you'd expect from German engineering, Wersi is the BMW of synthesizers and organs.
FEATURES & CONTROLS
36 keys cover the C below a bass guitar open E string up to the B on the 16th fret of the G string without using the glide control. Push buttons select 2 bass guitar synthesized tones: 1) bass guitar, 2) damped bass guitar. Then there are eight synthesized pipe organ tones: 3) 16' sawtooth wave, 4) 8' sawtooth wave, 5) 8' square wave, 6) 16' sine wave, 7) 8' sine wave, 8) 4' sine wave, 9) 2' sine wave and 10) 1' sine wave. Any or all voices can be combined together. A pitch control on the rear panel 'tunes' the unit to different reference frequencies, if desired (say, when your guitarist thinks he's SRV and tunes his guitar half a step low).
SOUND
As mentioned, the bass guitar sound is excellent. Add in some of the deep, growly pipe organ sounds of the 16 and 8 foot pipes with a rotating speaker effect and you can mimic some of today's sounds easily."
CONNECTIONSThere is a high and low output, both TRS 1/4" and a 'pedal' input to control this unit from bass foot pedals. See photo of rear panel. Of course, a power cable is required and I will include the rather unique one that came with the unit."

"The unit in the video is a Wersi prototype of this model; it looks smaller and has different switches and knobs, but the sounds are the same.
