"Allow me a moment to modulate my own horn about this synth before you read the specs and other drivel I copied from some boring on-line source to fill in the blank spaces. After all, if you know about the EML 101 and what it is capable of doing, who cares if Weezer uses it or not? The truth is this synth is da bomb! Totally unlike an ARP/MOOG/KORG or other analog beastie from back in the day. It’s also one of the few that hasn’t been re-synthesized into an algorithm of one’s and zero’s. Why is that? Maybe you just can’t duplicate the authentic sound of an EML? Or maybe you just have to hear it in person. And since there aren’t that many that come up on eBay that are in great sounding shape, this is your opportunity to own a piece of sound sculpting history. I would label the sound as "industrial meets laboratory equipment." Not to mean the sound is clinical, but that it does have a unique voice that is very different than ARP or MOOG. The unit was last calibrated about 10 years ago and stays remarkably in tune. You need to tweak the VCO tuning with the keyboard scaling. But once set it will stay there for weeks on end. You can play one finger four note chords..."
