"Selling this rare gem on eBay. This model was manufactured from 1976 to 1982 and was Star's flagship model. This was very much like the Synare 1, with one oscillator with sawtooth, and pulse waveforms, white noise generator, etc. But this had assignable functions, ie. routing the LFO to control certain parameters at once. The LFO also added a sawtooth waveform You could also select a wide range of octaves for the pitch to sound at, along with a fine tune function. A major adjustment was the introduction of a fairly advanced sequencer with different patters, and the ability to change patterns and octaves. You could also adjust the speed and the note(s) sounded by the sequencer. This model features 16 pads instead of the previous four. Retail price in 1976 was $1,395.00. This high price has made the Synare 2 very rare. According to one of Star's founders, about 50-75 of these units were built."
