"incredibly rare Dutch-made vocoder. One of only roughly 20 originally produced, this vocoder originally sold for the equivalent of 6000 Euros and is quite possibly the finest vocoder available to man. Aimed firmly at serious electronic musicians and studios, users include Wendy Carlos and Bruno Spoerri.
This unit was supplied to us without power supply. We had our engineer custom build a suitable unit for 240V operation. This is included in the auction and the vocoder is now up and running, fully working and ready to be put to use producing some amazing sounds.
This item is generally in good condition as the photos illustrate. Unfortunately some of the control knobs are missing their end caps, and there are minor marks and scratches on the unit. One of the pins on the matrix is broken but still usable (just shorter than the others) and the pot for the second filter band has a damaged stop meaning that it can be turned through 360 degrees. Despite these minor issues the unit is fully functional and sounds incredible.
