"This is a rare and lovely sampler/synth. It's had all the upgrades available giving it 8 separate outputs and I think more memory. It was used to write the theme for the TV show 'The Net' back in the late 80's or early 90's and I've owned it since 1995. I had it serviced and repaired by The Synthesizer Service Centre back in 1999 and hardly used it since I moved to a smaller place. It's a 16 bit machine that uses 4 bits for the operating system leaving 12 for the sound giving it a unique 'edge' and some lovely gutsy results. the built in patches are classic vintage sounds and it does wonders with whatever you record in or upload from a floppy disc. If you're looking for that unique, authentic, vintage sound in a machine that's a joy to mess around with look no further. I've loved it a lot but it needs to go to a good home where it will be used.
The down sides are. It has some damage to one of the output sockets which still works and can be easily replaced. It sometimes sends tiny amounts of midi data on the mod wheel channel which shows up on midi recorders but so far has never actually caused any midi events. Being such a unique device the OS is a bit weird but if I can get my head round it anyone can. It comes with full manuals so no problems getting it going."

via the listing: "i fashioned a sesame street keyboard inside this gameboy box and attached a separate gameboy with all the controls from the bends. it has great sounds of mechanical madness and short out frenzies. there is a full scale of keys with multiple sounds to trigger and four sound effects that sound really spacy and cool. also has some sequenced songs so you can adjust bends while multiple notes trigger. bends include: multiple pitch bends, short outs, toggles, and chippy madness... a one of a kind and truly unique sounding instrument. its a great addition to your lofi arsenal. this unit still functions in its factory mode for full control and sound manipulation. i really enjoy this piece and with all the bends the sounds are limitless. ...any questions welcomed and thanks for looking. for more mods and bends visit greightbit [dot] com great feedback from around the globe."
