Vintage Mego Muson Synthesizer

via this auction

"The fun part is the sequencer section. The color pegs are different notes. If you take the pegs out and plug them in you can make various sequences.
The two sliders on each side control the speed and the pitch of the sequence. It can go so incredibly fast and high pitched. The only thing I can describe the sound to is Pac-Man.
Some cool things about the Muson Synthesizer..
You can see it in Devo's "My Baby Gave Me A Suprise" video. Also, it was used in some early recordings by the synth-punk band Crash Course In Science.

Also here is a demo video of it in action:" Posted here.

Mattson / Division 6 SQ816 Random Test

YouTube Published on Aug 28, 2012 by mmmodsynth

"Cell video taken when I was testing two SQ816 prototypes.
They were both programmed to identical min7th scales. The A bus was the root, m3, 5, and m7. The B bus was just root and 5ths.
They were sync'd together in 16 channel Ping-Pong mode. While transposing the sequences, I'd hit the foot switch to make them both go into random mode. When transposing again, I'd hit the foot switch to bring them back to an ordered sequence."
