via this auction "This is a rare and lovely sampler/synth. It's had all the upgrades available giving it 8 separate outputs and I think more memory. It was used to write the theme for the TV show 'The Net' back in the late 80's or early 90's and I've owned it since 1995. I had it serviced and repaired by The Synthesizer Service Centre back in 1999 and hardly used it since I moved to a smaller place. It's a 16 bit machine that uses 4 bits for the operating system leaving 12 for the sound giving it a unique 'edge' and some lovely gutsy results. the built in patches are classic vintage sounds and it does wonders with whatever you record in or upload from a floppy disc. If you're looking for that unique, authentic, vintage sound in a machine that's a joy to mess around with look no further. I've loved it a lot but it needs to go to a good home where it will be used.
The down sides are. It has some damage to one of the output sockets which still works and can be easily replaced. It sometimes sends tiny amounts of midi data on the mod wheel channel which shows up on midi recorders but so far has never actually caused any midi events. Being such a unique device the OS is a bit weird but if I can get my head round it anyone can. It comes with full manuals so no problems getting it going."
