"THIS SYNTHESIZER STARTED A REVOLUTION!" (see the ad below)

"This is a very rare and unusual modular sound synthesizer. Only about a few hundred of the EML-200's were made, and this one has the sought after blue face. The EML-200 modular synthesizer is a vintage synth fanatics dream come true. Its capable of sounding like nothing else you have ever heard. It's a cross between a musical patchable synth like a Moog or ARP 2600 and RAW test equipment - great for someone who needs really science fiction sound effects, drones or crazy tones - oscillator sweeps, pings, bleeps, huge reverberating swells, clangy metallic sounds, fat drum sounds, percussion, harsh noises, you name it! The tone of the EML-200 is very different from that of any other manufacturer. It can be raw, nasty and harsh but also pure, floaty and lush. Nothing sounds spacier than this things spring reverb! Great for the experimental musician or sound designer / noisician. It's a great stand alone unit but also makes a terrific companion to the EML-101, EML-300 sequencer, and other ElectroComp products, or cross patch it with your other analog gear for variety! You can also control the EML-200 with a variety other external analog sequencers. I believe you can also have an experienced technician install a midi to cv converter so you can hook up an external midi type keyboards and sequencers if you like. It's also a really unique processing tool for other sound sources such as a microphones, guitars, keyboards, etc. There's a mic preamp so you can patch external sounds through the electro comp's high pass and low pass filters, TWO ring modulators, 3 oscillators, etc to create all kinds of stereo effects, vocoder or whatever else you can dream up.

"Originally designed to be used an educational tool in schools for the beginning electronic composer. They wanted a synthesizer that could stand up to young exploring hands and 10 hours a day use, so needless to say it's very durable and sturdy. You can't make a wrong patch, anything is possible!

Manufactured by Electronic Music Laboratories in Vernon, CT, USA."
