"Not quite sure what to make of this synth, according to Peter Forrest's book it is 'a curious instrument with a row of twenty push-buttons underneath the keys, and then, below them, ten knobs. To the left are two sliders - one for wah-wah, one for glide. The copy talks of a pure bass guitar sound with a full range of flute stops - plus synthesized woodwinds and brass. Manual and automatic up/down, octave glide, variable attach and sustain, free-running wah-wah. With interfacing for remote control from external keyboard/pedals.' We have had it for about 20 years and used it on numerous recordings because of some of the strange sounds it is capable of making, particularly by using the wah-wah and glide controls. Everything works; it is in EXC cosmetic condition with no rips or tears to the tolex EXCEPT for a rectangle on back where somebody cut it off, or maybe there was an identification plate formerly attached. No lid - it looks as though it had one at some time past but now it's gone."

Simmons Clap Trap
"As might be expected, makes a "clap" effect, though it's adjustable to sound like any kind of sharp percussive attack type of instrument. Why contend with some disc of samples when you can have the original."

"One of my cow-orkers asked what I was going to do in my summer holiday. I said that I was going to work on my washboard. He said that was a really good idea but little did he know that I was speaking in the literal sense! He thought I was going to do bench pressing and push-ups.
This is actually something I should have done 30 years ago. There was a time when I wanted to be a washboard player. I don't have that dream anymore but I thought it could be fun to try it out. And since I found a very cheap old washboard and had the other necessary items at hand then I just put things together and at the same time made this video.
The music is something I made back in 2002 (except for the washboard part). It is played on Yamaha HE-8 and Technics SX-C600 organs, Yamaha PSS-12 keyboard, Roland JX-8P synthesizer, and Roland CR-68 drum machine."
