When digital was in...

"The DS-2 is basically a monosynthesizer with an added 44-voice polyphonic strings section. The DS-2 was one of the first synthesizers to use DCOs (digitally controlled osc.) making it stable in tune. Especially if you use the polyphonic string. This is a very big and good looking synth with a lot of knobs for instant hands-on control. And you don't need a hardcase, it's built into one.

SPECIFICATIONS:
Polyphony - Monophonic synthesizer section; 44 voice polyphonic string section
Oscillators - 2 DCOs
LFO - 2 LFOs; LFO 2 has Sample&hold and Staircase waveforms
Filter - 1 4-pole LPF with Cutoff, Resonance, ADSR and ENV-amount
VCA - ADSR
Keyboard - 44 keys
Memory - None
Control - Gate
Date Produced - 1978"
