"Special guest interview with FOREST TERRY JR! Forest stops by to chat about the Original Black Sheep, the Forest Power Band, and his amazing invention the ‘Keyytar’ (for which he earned a US Patent!). He brought along a few treats, including a special unreleased 12″ acetate of “Branch N Out”!!!!"

Interesting. This predates the PMS Syntar, although the Syntar still holds the reigns as the first traditional style keytar that was all synth. This is the keytar before the keytar.

Update: design patents while up:

"2 Videos of Keyytar inventor & Boston legend FOREST TERRY. First, "Branch-In-Out", followed by "Satellite Love"" Update: I didn't have a chance to listen to the interview, but someone that did wrote in to let me know this was more of a controller and the synth it controlled was actually an ARP Odyssey, not a Moog. An interesting side note is Moog was synonymous with synth back then.
