    Are you in the mood for a classic, self-contained semi-modular synthesizer with reconfigurable, patchable signal path, three oscillators, noise generator, two flavours of low-pass filter, dual envelope generators, spring reverb and ring modulator, built-in speakers, Tolex-covered cabinet, detachable keyboard with arpeggiator and an additional LFO.

    We’re on the case
