Hi Joan and all,
Sorry I have no info about this, but it did remind me of a later (but =
still pretty early) BBC computer-based synth in the UK:-

I used to have one, and you could get some nice-ish pads out of it IIRC. =
 Acorn / Hybrid went on to make a few slightly more sophisticated =
set-ups - but I guess not sophisticated when compared with the dedicated =
instruments that were already in existence like the Prophet.

Trying to track down any info on this 1977 digital/DSP S-100 bus based =
synth for a friend:

cs__20170915_0481=20

It was definitely shown at at least one show in 1977 (same show had an =
apple computer booth)

There was an ad produced for it - see above

Not sure if it ever saw release or sold very many

"People's computers" magazine vol 5 no 6 (May-June 1977) has pictures =
from the trade show as well (the magazine is scanned from Stanford's =
collection)

Let me know,
Joan
