Electrocomp EML 400


via this auction

"EML 400 Sequential synthesizer. Serial # 594.

This unit has two banks of 16 stages, and can be configured to trigger 32 stages sequentially. All stages trigger. The clock has been tested to trigger at a continuous range of speed. The oscillator sounds "fat and juicy". The filters (2) have been tested to modulate the signal."

Update via Dave Cornutt in the comments: "The 400 sequencer is actually the leftmost box on top. It was a neat design with a quantizing feature that could be tuned for equal tempered or alternate scales. And by patching the gate signals, it was possible to make it do quasi-random permutating sequences.

The box on the right was the 401 synth. It was a two-oscillator synth with the EML two-pole multimode filter. The synth they are both sitting on top of is the EML 101 semi-modular."
