via this auction"An excellent example of the classic Italian synth from 1978. Simple and not-so-underrated nowadays, with a single oscillator (VCO or DCO? see below), 12dB/octave self-oscillating filter, three waveforms (sawtooth, square and pulse-width variable square), two types of noise in addition to the waveform, separate envelopes for the filter and amplitude, LFO modulation of filter cutoff, pitch and PWM (all at the same time if you want), PWM control, variable glide, master tune and octave.
Possibly the best and most intuitive use of a mere 24 easy to use knobs on the front panel.Some decent links here, which should go some way towards solving the DCO/VCO debate. As far as I can tell, it's somewhere inbetween, a digitally 'divided' analogue oscillator, so it certainly sounds analogue but actually stays in tune.
