Vintage Jen SX-1000 Synthetone

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This vintage Jen SX-1000 analogue synthesizer is in full working order and complete with all the coloured control caps and the 7 original patch cards (Brass 1, Brass 2; Piano, Flute; Violin, Cello; Hammond Organ 1, Hammond Organ 2; Human Voice 1, Human Voice 2; Synthesizer, Electronic Drum; Blank Patch Card).

There is some cosmetic damage to the left side panelling, but it has not affected the structural integrity, nor the sound of the synth. It still sounds fantastic and I'm loathed to loose such a beautiful item.

The Synthetone SX-1000 is an old Italian mono-synth.
It has a single analog DCO with three waveforms: sawtooth, square, and PWM (Pulse Width Modulation).
There is an analog filter (12dB/octave) with cutoff, resonance, and LFO modulation.
There is also a simple ADSR envelope for shaping your sounds.
In addition there are also white/pink noise generators a glide effect and a vibrato effect.
It's known for fairly stable tuning too."
