"Cult analogue synth with digital 8-bit drum machine built-in (very Linn like) and fully programmable sequencer. It has a mono bass synth with 4 variations and decay, mono lead synth with adjustable filter, 'piano' chord synth, 'guitar' chord synth, polyphonic organ section and polyphonic string synth with chorus. It has stereo outputs, also outputs for the rhythm section and bass synth as well as individual outputs for each type of drum sound. There is an analogue clock output and it has midi. It comes with a set of bass pedals to control the Bass synth (not needed for normal keyboard use) It is very well built, all metal construction, made to last. Looks great too, it reminds me of a mini Jupiter 6.The 24S has a built-in auto-accompaniment section with a wide range of preset patterns and sequences - the usual waltz, swing and bossanova etc, but also funk, rock and the amazing disco patterns! The sequencer is also fully programmable, so you are not restricted to the presets.
These synths use classic SSM and Curtis chips in the design and the keyboard sounds are very warm and organic.
This machine was originally designed as an accompaniment unit for cabaret performers and accordionists, but it was picked up by some Italian disco producers in the 80's and became a 'secret weapon'."
