"Not quite sure what to make of this synth, according to Peter Forrest's book it is 'a curious instrument with a row of twenty push-buttons underneath the keys, and then, below them, ten knobs. To the left are two sliders - one for wah-wah, one for glide. The copy talks of a pure bass guitar sound with a full range of flute stops - plus synthesized woodwinds and brass. Manual and automatic up/down, octave glide, variable attach and sustain, free-running wah-wah. With interfacing for remote control from external keyboard/pedals.' We have had it for about 20 years and used it on numerous recordings because of some of the strange sounds it is capable of making, particularly by using the wah-wah and glide controls. Everything works; it is in EXC cosmetic condition with no rips or tears to the tolex EXCEPT for a rectangle on back where somebody cut it off, or maybe there was an identification plate formerly attached. No lid - it looks as though it had one at some time past but now it's gone."
