Re: Re: Re: MicroSynth



Greg and the rest...
The E-H Guitar Synthesizer that I owned was indeed 3 rack spaces, but since
I got rid of it a few years ago, I'll try to remember the features..
-Input w/LED
-2 tunable oscillators, each with resonance, tuning, fine tuning and volume
controls..you could also 'sync' their tuning to each other, and switch
between saw tooth and triangle waveforms
-1 additional oscillator that was tuned an octave above the input signal.
-chorus (no controls, just on or off) not bad sounding, a very subtle
effect..i believe it was just for the direct signal...
-fuzz (on or off)...this sounded quite square wave-y to me, but was cool
with some outboard reverb...this was also for the direct guitar sound
-VCA ..this was cool for volume envelop changes....

There were probably a few more little things, but I can't seem to remember
this late at night. They originally went for about $1000, mine was bought
from my guitar teacher in the mid 80's for about $400, The overall sound
reminded me of a Minimoog through a distortion pedal, not clean enough to
simulate a bass, and since it was monophonic, it did cool mistracking 
sounds
quite well. I could also get a pretty good Belew-like elephantine scream 
out
of it. The unit was black, with white lines and legends, and had direct and
synth out. Hate to think what its worth today..if anyone needs more info or
has questions, let me know.
