"This mk1 is the more sought after original version. There were a few revisions of this instrument, one with buttons rather than rocker switches (as mine has) and I think a couple of revisions on the rocker switch version too.

I got her from the original owner. I used it for the strings and vocoder which both have a unique vintage feel. The vocoder is great using external instruments too and I used it with an external pre-amped mic, though you can stick a mic directly into its XLR port. The human voice section is best used as a carrier signal for the vocoder, but I guess that's subjective as everything else is.

It's been used on everything from Transformers theme song ('robots in disguise'), through to Phil Collins (In the Air Tonight - oh my), Bladerunner soundtrack and Mantronix.

2 fader caps missing as pictured, everything on the synth works perfectly"
