"You're looking at the Multivox MX-3000 synth. Multivox gear is rare at the best of times and the MX-3000 was their high-end flagship model and these are like gold dust. Released approx 1975...

Combines 3 synths in one:
- Monophonic bass section (in my opinion one of the fattest basses ever)
- Polyphonic "string" section (dont be put off, its more versatile than it sounds)
- Monophonic lead section (awesome screamy french house/prince style leads)

For reviews and more details on it check out sonic state and also matrixsynth"

"From Sonic State: 'Screaming monophonic leads are possible, but this synth produces also the coolest and heaviest bass sounds, and also has that famous JMJ-strings. Killer synth.'

From Sound On Sound magazine: 'The MX3000 was Multivox's finest hour. With bass, poly, and lead sections, an ensemble effect, and a phaser, it falls into the same 'multi-keyboard' camp as the ARP Quadra…

'The bass section offered three basic sounds, with three contour types, each with variable release. The lead synth consisted of a traditional VCO/VCF/VCA signal path plus an LFO and, despite its apparent limitations, it produced some interesting sounds. Nevertheless, the polyphonic section held the most promise. This offered eight editable voices, of which three (piano, harpsichord and honky-tonk) were velocity-sensitive.

'Given the similarities to the Quadra, it makes you wonder how much of the MX3000 was copied from ARP's ideas or designs. Keep an eye out for the MX3000. If you find one and don't want it, I'll buy it…'"
