NotesThe Synthacon is a 3 VCO monosynth with a 4 octave 49-note (C-C) keyboard, 26 knobs, 3 trimmers and 43 switches (including 28 color-coded toggle switches). It has thick wooden end pieces and a steep sloped silver (on earlier models) or black control panel above and quite close to the keys. The Synthacon is said to be quite rare. It is unclear exactly how many were made and sold. The Synthacon also came in a duophonic version, sold as the "Two Voice Synthacon."
