"Exceptionally rare EMS Synthi Sequencer 256 - AKA "The Synthi Moog Sequencer"

Here we have one of the rarest items produced by EMS, it was incredibly expensive while in production, think of it as 3 layers of CV recording - you can record and play back CVs from external envelope generators, Pitch to CV converters, random voltage generators (etc.) or its own built in keyboard.

If you are interested in history, this particular Synthi Sequencer is serial #001 making it possibly the first production digital sequencer assembled and sold by EMS. I updated this unit to later spec while under restoration, original cables and components are included with this sale along with a manual and service documents I purchased from EMS in Cornwall.

Please note: The DK1 keyboard in the photo is shown for scale and is not included with this sequencer, however it is available in another listing.

Condition:

This synthi has recently been restored and calibrated. It is very clean but exhibits signs of its age such as wood chips and scratches. Contact me for more details on the condition and restoration."
