"Once upon a time there was a synthesizer called the Monomachine SFX-6. It existed for four years and only 500 units were made. Today it is considered somewhat of a rarity.

Owned from new (£1600!), with very little use.

The SFX-6 was made publicly available in September 2003. It was actually the first version of the Monomachine as the keyboardless tabletop variant was introduced a few months later.
A lot of attention was drawn to the looks of the SFX-6. In contrast to more common synthesizer designs, the keyboard and the control area of the SFX-6 were separated in two distinct sections. The intention was to allow two musicians to jam together using a single synthesizer. One of them would be in charge of the keyboard while the other one operated the sequencer and adjusted sound parameters."
