The latest LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER video takes a look at the rare EMS VCS4 synthesizer.
The EMS VCS4 is a rare, one-off synthesizer that’s a bit of a ‘frankensynth’, but also a unique and interesting instrument.
It’s also got a bit a mystery about it, with features like the ‘violin fuzz’ that aren’t documented and maybe a bit knackered!
Check out the video and share your thoughts in the comments, And, let us know if you you know anything more about the mysterious ‘violin fuzz’!
Any time someone opens the lid on a synthesizer, I feel like I have a high fever. Its an unreal tangle that boggles me. People have rock star heroes, but the rather quiet types who build and repair this gear are among mine. Did he say “expressionative?” 😛
