"vintage synth from around 1980. Sold in kit form through the ETI magazine for a couple of years

Not just any old kit.... Designed by the legendry Tim Orr who was the man behind many of the classic EMS synths from the 1970s as used by Pink Floyd among many (Dark side of the moon)

This model was used by Joy Division and New Order on early tracks and sounds great for the Blue Monday type bouncy basslines as well as very strange and wonderful effects and lead lines. Its one of the simplest units to use and to get great sounds from, you will be at home with it in a matter of a few hours

This does a lot of stuff not possible on Minimoogs or Korg MS synths. Very much all its own character and tone

Has a great sample and hold effect for weird repetative sounds.. very spooky as used in old 1980s horror films (think John Carpenter)

Single osc system with a very full sound, cone destroying bass and resonance with ease"
