"Designed by Tim Orr of the legendry synth company EMS. Products he
designed were used by Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk and many other early electronic
musicians. Also this was joy Divisions/ New Orders first ever synth!
Sold as kits from the late 1970’s into the early 1980’s in an electronics
project magazine. I have all the circuits and set up info to supply should you
have to get this serviced or repaired at any time. All parts are still available
as its just standard uk components throughout the synth
This was recently serviced and had almost all of the op-amp ic’s and transistors
upgraded to a more modern type. Some capacitors were changed and all key
contacts cleaned and lined up. No double triggers or missing key hits at all.
Condition is very good considering its age with just some fading to the black
panel finish but all still looks great! Word of warning as if you turn the
resonance up full it will go into self Oscillation as its ment to but should be
used with caution!
Packed with features for a very wide range of sounds and effects. Nice bubbly
sounds, nice bass lines which remind me of the korg MS synths. Very hard to find
synth and becoming very collectable!
