Details:
"Truly a legendary vintage synth, produced between 1973 and 1981 (now, that’s vintage!).

The SH-1000 has the distinction of being (according to Roland) the first keyboard synthesizer made in Japan. "It is a weird synth from a time when synth manufacturers were probably trying to figure out the best way to market synths to people outside academia. The SH-1000 thus has many color tabs on the front of it just like Grandma's organ. It even has two little holes drilled in the top so you can put in a little music stand. It's not quite a preset synth though. It does have 10 presets that are not editable other than to add vibrato or tremolo. But it also has tabs for creating your own sounds from scratch. You could select 32' square or ramp, 16' pwm, etc.

To edit the wave form, on the left side of the keyboard (where the chord buttons would be if it were Grandma's organ) are most of the controls for editing. It has an EG [envelope generator] with one slider each for ADSR. Its VCF section has a slider for both "freq" and "cut off". However, they work differently depending on whether or not you've chosen to flip the colored tab on front labeled "ADSR". This is in the section of tabs labeled "Spectrum (V.C.F.)". Other choices are, of course, "growl" and 'waw'."

"From the Manufacturer- Combining a 6-operator 16-note polyphonic FM synthesizer with over one hundred rhythm sounds & a 16-step analog-style sequencer, the DX200 is one of the most unique "groove boxes" available today. Thanks to its realtime control knobs, you can easily get inside this once-forbidden FM architecture & effortlessly tweak the voice parameters to come up with totally bizarre sounds that have never been heard before. Many hip-hop and techno producers are already hip to the punchy bass sounds & radical metallic textures that can be created with FM, and now you can, too! If you've been looking for some fresh new electronic sounds for your dance tracks, the DX200 is your new secret weapon.

"13-minute dry recording of the system 100 sequenced by the mobius. this should give some an idea of what the system 100 sounds like."

Mike Hankinson - The Unusual Classical Synthesizer

"This record is the first L.P. ever recorded using only the Electronic Music Studios "Synthi" VCS-3. This instrument has the capability of producing virtually any sound, but was used purely as a straight musical instrument on this L.P. The only modification - a potentiometer control was added, which gave a sliding octave up or down, by rotating the control, thus extending the keyboard to 5 octaves."
