"Invented by Joe Pollard and Mark Burton in 1975, the Pollard Syndrum is the world's first commercially manufactured electronic drum synthesizer. It is considered the original synth drum.
The Syndrum was sold in three models: Syndrum Single, Syndrum Twin, and Syndrum Quad.
This Syndrum 178 is the single model.

"E-MU Virtuoso 2000. It’s in MINT condition. It comes with Orchestral Sessions Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 expansion 32MB ROM (**2 cards**) And is in 100% working order. It‘s so MINT, that it even still has the protection film on the screen. Comes with its original box and power cable. This unit has seen very minimal use over the years."
