Yeah, that thing doesn't belong in a musician's hands, but in a collector's collection. If you really wanted to make that kind of analog synth you could just nab the chip and interface it yourself, to an old computer even if you wanted to.

There's an SN7647 in the Swedish ABC80 home computer, too (from 1978). Apparently, some parts of the chip used analog control signals, so in most cheap designs it ought to have been inflexible to control (as is the case with the ABC80, apparently: http://board.kohina.net/viewtopic.php?t=393).

Seems it uses SN76477 as sound synth, which is rather cool (it is 1-channel digitally controlled analog synth).

It's called the "Interact Computer" on the order section of the ad.

not necessarily. looking at the center screen image, i wonder if it has a 2 channel flip flop like some of the machines made in GDR. such interfaces existed for altair too, if i recall correctly.

It doesn't even say the name of the computer.
Does it have a name?

It's based on the 8080 yet not PC-compatible, it's very interesting. Probably has a beeper-type sound. Useless or pointless to get one for music or anything at all, but interesting architecture-wise nonetheless.

And I bet it sounds like garbage too. wink Actually, I'd be willing to bet some people on the VC Forums or CCTalk have probably seen this, or even own it.

Correction, Trillions! In fact, they stopped working on that little oil spill in the gulf to scour the globe for one. lol

I wonder if anyone would have one laying about. I mean, this is quite old and most of these small-time computer companies only made a few thousand units tops.
