"This is the prima harmony trainer. It is a keyboard with 4 sounds, octave and tuning shifters, separate volume controls for each key, and is battery powered. It apparently is used to tune instruments and has an input, but I just used it to make great sounds. it has a nice sounding metronome, and definitely will make other musicians ask "what is that?" I bought it to circuit bend, but ended up making my own projects and didn't want to ruin it. I've never seen one before or since this one. I made a demo video for it.... [previously posted] which might help to explain its unique features. Best thing on it is the "hold" button, which can hold any number of keys indefinitely. Has a foldaway handle, in fantastic shape... missing battery cover. I have a power supply and its original case. Circuit bent or not, it is a unique instrument."

"the prima harmony trainer seems like the perfect keyboard to circuit bend... here i wanted to give a demo of the sounds before i put it on ebay... battery powered! the line 6 m13 is obviously a pretty diverse pedal... i made a box that crammed two expression pedals into two knobs.
