The Minitron

I was going through the hoard of gear shots on the title link above and ran into The Minitron.



"Built in the 1970s by Norm Lederman"

"The Minitron consists of 48 keys in a slideout keyboard (which stashes away for shipping). Each has its own individual attack, release, and volume controls. These controls operate six broadcast cartridge tape drives, each having eight tracks. Thus, each of the tracks on a cart contains the tape loop for one key."
