RMI DK-20 Digital synthesizer


via this auction
"The DK-20 was introduced in the late 70's and took advantage of most advanced digital technology available at the time. The preset voices are great and have a late 70's early 80's digital/analog hybrid character to them. After you select your sound you can control the decay time, the curve, the final release then you can mix and modify the voice with a phaser and filters in the "Timbre" section of the control panel. The interface for doing this is unique and intuitive. The part I love most about the DK-20 is the sostenuto toe stud! It allows you to play a chord/note and sustain it indefinitely. After you have grabbed hold of those notes with the toe stud any other notes you play sustain as normal. The notes you sustain repeatedly cycle trough the phaser and filter section. You can get a real interesting cacophony going utilizing the phasers, filters, volume pedal, sustain pedal, separate outs, and the sostenuto toe stud."
