"This is the Bee Gees Rhythm Machine Music Synth made by Mattel in 1978.
This synth was made famous by Kraftwork who used it on the song Pocket Calculator and also on some of their live concerts.It features a 20 note keyboard and is a monophonic synth with a square wave type sound. It also has disco, latin and pop rhythms. When played at loud volumes the rhythm will mix and merge with the keyboard sound.
On the back there is a volume and pitch control. With the pitch you can make some interesting sounds while playing. It includes a built in speaker but also has a 1/8th inch audio jack so you can plug it into an amp.
It is battery powered and uses a square 9v battery (batteries not included!). The battery cover is missing.
It is fully working. It has some marks, scratches and scuffs to the plastic. The buttons and keys show some discolouration. The sticker above the keyboard and above the battery compartment shows some scuffing. The silver front shows a few slight bubbling marks. This can be seen in the photos."
