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:- http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/32569/Acorn-Music-500-Synthesizer/= 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.
