Technics SY-1010?

If you know anything about this synth, please post in the comments. Title link takes you to the post on Moogulator.

Update via ndkent in the comments:
"I'm pretty sure it's called the SY-1010 (not sx1010). Single VCO and envelope synth from 1978. In direct competition with the Roland SH-09 (same Japanese release date and price). Given that an espablished brand like Yamaha came out with the cheaper CS-5 within about 2 months I'm not sure it had much ground to compete on.

I wonder if those paper labels stuck on it are someone's attempt in translating the control names into Japanese?"

  2. oh, I just realized a selling point, since it has no left hand controls it is one of the smaller synths with full size keys. The photo proves you can stack it on your home stereo!

  4. the MASCHINENSOUND BLOG has MOVED:
    whooops. I changed the link to sequencer.de/blog - you can simply replace all older maschinensound-links to sequencer.de/blog... it is "compatible" .. the maschinensound domain will tell you, it has moved ;)

    I found it much easier to host it on the same domain..
