So simple. This synth was single oscillator with a dividing capacitor that allowed "stacked" octaves, up to 4 (mono) octaves from the one oscillator.
Had an LFO. Cheesy sounds, but very useful beginner sounds for anyone without the bread in the 1970's to get a Minimoog or 2600.

It was my first synth, when I was 16 years old. A lot of fun, and allowed me to create a Wakeman-ish stack of keyboards within my budget. I had my Farfisa, I had my Hammond, I had my Cordovox piano . . I had the ARP. People were blown away . .. hey, my dreams okay?
Seriously though, a very fun and funky little synth.
