Profoundly Quaint or Quaintly Profound?





Behold. Astronomically expensive in days of old, this instrument is a gloriously anachronistic testament to an era when men were men and 8-bit FM/Additive Synthesizers were 8-bit FM/Additive Synthesizers. It doesn't get more "base model", primitive or tragically beautiful than a 16-voice Synclav with no sampling or hard disk recording. Totally uncompromising design, great interface, the Big Dog of its time. They don't, wouldn't and simply couldn't afford to make 'em like this anymore.
