Anyone know what this is? It was recently spotted by Florian Anwander who had the following to say:
"This device was used while a live stream from a Hamburg Club streaming event. We had the impression, that it made 808 like drumsounds, but we are not sure. I tried to turn and unskew the picture to make the writing readable, but the success is mediocre. It might read Mma 090. It looks like the grey rectangle is a speaker (there is a second under the moog FX). Can anyone identify what it is?"
The style reminds me of Boehm or Bohm, but I couldn't find it in the archives. If you know what it is let us know!
Update via Florian in the comments:"Richard von der Schulenburg, who used it while this event, kindly answered my request. It is a 'PENTA Stereo keyboar' by the brand GERLAND. I found as a single hit on google this picture.
I've never heard about it, neither the brand nor the instrument. If I search for the brand name, then I find typical home organs."
GARLAND is an organ brand. Note the button style is the same as the PENTA.
For a half second it almost look like an Open Labs MIKO Music Workstation.
ReplyDeleteFor my money, it's got the look of some kinda old auto-arranger or accordion expander, maybe sat atop a separate keyboard.
