"This machine is in as you might know, the first MIDI equipped keyboard. 1982 was the year. This particular one was probably made a year later or so and is somewhere mid production. From what I can tell on serials numbers they only made maybe 7000 of these or like that. 2520 is the number on this one. It has a good OS that supports MIDI channels. Early ones were OMNI only. So not too useful in multi-instrument setups. You have to set the channel though each time you turn them on and turn omni off. (Record and 8.... then record and 9 held while hitting 'tune' to move the channel up) Once you get over that minor hurdle these are a fantastic analog machine! The DAC generates the envelopes and LFO. But everything in the signal path is analog. (CEM3340 VCO's x 12 and CEM3372 VCF/VCA's x 6) You can get some extremely gnarly sounds and these have found their way into a lot of sound tracks etc.. Lots of fun to play with the knobs on these. 100 patch storeage and midi in and out. Patches can be saved and loaded via MIDI or tape! I've never used the tape i/f on these so I can't say how it works. MIDI is all I've used and it works glitch free!"
