"The card reader works but no cards are included. Sorry. This is one of the most rare of the RMI keyboards. and a cool example of one of the earliest digitally controlled synthesizers (circa '74-'75). More info here"
"It can be played 8 voice with 1 OSC, 4 voice with 2 OSCs, in monophonic unison, or Split (hence the name), with two different patches on each side of the keyboard."
"Xavier van Wersch (NL 1976) obtained a degree in Sonology at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague after having studied visual arts and philosophy. His work reflects an organical approach to the field of electronic music. In his compositions, performances and installations there is always an element of controlled chaos. He explores the relation between man and machine by conceiving the two of them together as hybrid systems in which erratic behaviour is the principal condition for interaction. Another common theme in his work is recycling. Like a modern Frankenstein, van Wersch constructs his machinery from parts of deceased equipment and disfunctional devices.
To balance his usually rather noisy live performances, van Wersch produces more beat-oriented tracks under the alias 'xaf'. As a sound designer he worked with a.o. Nederlands Dans Theater, Icelandic National Ballet / Maska Ljubljana, the Poni Collective and Ivana Müller. He is the director and founder of re.Bug, an organisation that supports and develops projects in which art, technology and ecology meet. After a 4 year stay in Belgium, van Wersch now lives in Hungary. He has been invited to teach at Novus School of Arts in Budapest and is currently setting up a studio in the school.
