Synth trivia: the little dude on top is holding a Syntar! The Syntar is the worlds first keytar synthesizer. It was created by George Mattson of Mattson Mini Modular. See the Syntar label below for more posts, Carbon111's Syntar page & my post here for some history on the Syntar. Also see From the Syntar to the MMM Phoenix.
