I cannot remember ever seeing this synth in the real world. Did it exist? Has it ever been used. Are there (pre-)owners or users that would like to share their experiences or anecdotes?
Features offered: presets, digionic sequencer, ionicamera visual display (full features see below).
The synth shows lots of similarities with the well-known EMS synths, but the structure and user interface are really different. Matrixsynth.com mentions that this synth has been on an ebay auction, but there are not many traces left.
