Jen SX1000 vintage Monophonic Synthesizer with Patch Sheets

via this auction

"This is a vintage analogue synth, introduced in 1978 by the Italian electronics company Jen...... The SX1000 was an entry-level synthesizer and is extremely easy to use with all sound parameters being controlled through 24 knobs.

It's monophonic, with 1 oscillator - 3 waveforms : sawtooth, square (particularly nice here!) and pulse with pulsewidth variation and "PWM" amount to fatten up the sound. Also there's white and pink noise for traditional analogue electro percussion sound. 1 filter, which self-oscillates on high resonance to create those Theremin -type screams! 1 LFO (triangle).

A bit of a collectors item now, with its own "character", not many synths emerged from Italy! "
