Man, i love this synth! Tom of the cooper temple clause used it, you can see it in their video for “let’s kill music”.
Never seen his thing before. Looks pretty cool, though!
That’s a clever piece of kit. I’d love to hear a full synth concerto created with only boutique oddities & left-field synths that never got off the ground. This little beauty plus a few niceties like the punch-card-driven EML Syn-key would give “analog” and “vintage” a different tone in spades.
Amazing :o)
cool dad!
The correct name for it is the Lord Synthesisers Skywave. People get it wrong all the time because of how the front panel is screenprinted. I hated having to write about it without getting to actually play one… maybe someday.
