"Rare OBERHEIM DS-2 DIGITAL SEQUENCER. Made in Santa Monica, CA around 1974. Serial number: 050. Excellent working condition. Unit is 17.5" wide and 11" tall.The DS-2 was probably the first commercially produced digital sequencer, and very few were made. I believe the DS-2 pre-dates the SEM and was Tom Oberheim's first product under his own name. Number 50 is in superb cosmetic condition and is running well. The right Panaplex gas discharge/plasma numeric display is missing some segments but works fine and is very readable. The left display is perfect. There are a few nicks and scratches and a little tape residue on the back. The lighted buttons work fine but some are slightly brighter than others. Comes with instruction/service manual.
I've played the DS-2 for many years with an Oberheim 2-voice and have always loved the possibilities of using this in tandem with the TV's on-board mini-sequencer. The big NASA layout is beautiful in its simplicity. Definitely a collector's item but also a real blast to use. Especially the three discrete, tunable transpose settings are very useful and breathe new life into your sequences when used on the fly..." Pics of the back below.
