| Notes | a 350lb dual-keyboard monster containing more than 70 3/8-inch tape players, a reverb unit, amplifiers and speakers. In modern terms, it was 70-note polyphonic, eight-part multitimbral, and held up to 54 voices in its tape RAM (Rotten Analogue Memory). With eight seconds of sample time per voice per note, this equated to 1260 sounds with over two hours of sample memory! Add to this the twin-channel output, rhythm, accompaniment and 'fill' capabilities, plus an integrated reverb unit, and the specification makes impressive reading even today.
