Monophonic synth VCO + VCF double (2 filters) + VCA + Ring Modulator basic.

Patchable

No MIDI, No Computer: that Dad electronics (transistors and ICs)

UTILIZATION

teaching but not intuitive:

Without a minimum of cramming on sound synthesis, no salvation: you shall not go out as the "pisserie" synth.

Without a minimum of precautions electrical / electronic, you can gun down the beast in the patching anyhow: attention to IN / OUT and electrical voltages.

SOUNDS

it's a synth, so it produces synth sounds very typical year 70/80: you have to take :-)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 1989.
At the time, I had access to Kobol without keyboard synths class of electro-acoustic at the CNR of Amiens.

Have an MS20, it's a bit recapture the spirit of Kobol.

Today, you have to have a good reason or justification for a project to acquire such an object.
Maintenance is to be considered before buying: capacitors can "dry" and slam it must therefore have the "service manual" and a soldering iron to carry hand.

If the mail scares, better patch of VSTs :-)
