Details:
"The 2720 was one of the first modular systems from PAiA originally sold as a kit in the seventies. Its patchable capabilities and unique sound make this synth stand apart from other synths of its time. The modules can be patched together and used with the keyboard, or can be expanded and easily connected to other patchable gear. A very versatile instrument that can also be used as an incredible analog effects processor.

the ten modules included in this system:

power supply
voltage control oscillator
function generator
control oscillator
voltage control amplifier
bandpass filter
low pass filter
envelope follower
inverter buffer
sine/pwm"

"I had this link posted in the "Everything Synth" section, but it really should be here. Here's a link to hear Alain Thibault's "God's Greatest Gift" composed on a Fairlight. It features a quote from everybody's favorite 40th President, Ronald Reagan and shows a glimpse of what the early digital systems were capable of with a LOT of work. This song could now be composed on a laptop while riding the bus.
