via this auction"This vintage 1970 Hammond RSM Condor horn synthesizer by Innovex is in near mint condition. Originally used as a dealer demonstrator by the Hammond, Innovex salesman, it has not seen much use and is in excellent cosmetic condition. All features seem to work, but because of age, it has some static when turned on and will need to be serviced. Designed for use with horns, this one comes with the original King #29 trombone mouthpiece and pickup. Pickup could be retro-fiited to other horns or instruments. The pickup sends the note played to the synth which converts the horn sound to whatever sound tab or tabs are selected. Tabs are color coded and sliders are backlit with corresponding matching colors. 2 channels, channel one has four gold tabs for "voices" -- natural amplified, horn, oboe, and soprano sax. With the gold tabs, the same fundamental or natural pitch of the instrument is reproduced, with the exception of soprano sax, which is one octave higher. The second channel, blue tabs, one octave below the instrument's natural pitch, produce the voices of bass sax, tuba, bass clarinet, bassoon, English horn, and cello, plus dynamute and fuzz. There's also a sub-octave tab, which drops these blue voices to two octaves below natural pitch. Red tabs are special effects -- repeat, attack, vibrato-tremelo which operate on the blue and gold voices. Unit operates in stereo and mono. In stereo, blue voices are heard through one output channel, the gold voices from another. In the mono mode, the same signal is heard through both channels. Because vibrato and tremelo are different, this unit includes both, and each is adjustable in speed and intensity by using their slider controls. The repeat tab provides a reiteration of the tone, and its slider control varies the speed. A reset bar below the control tabs allows for a complete cancelation of all chosen sounds when depressed. Includes the custom-made dealer travel case and the original dealer promotional sales info kit in like new condition with three Innovex news release letters, three glossy pics, Condor color newsletters - volumes 1 and 2, the RSM operator's manual with blank warranty card intact, an article reprinted from the April 30, 1970 issue of Down Beat Music magazine, and dealer full color hand-out of Condor products, all in the cool black folder with gold Condor logo. Hard to find, especially in this condition. Makes a great addition to your horn sounds."
