 Model Syn-Bow
 Description BLACET SYN-BOW PERSONAL SYNTHESIZER Extremely rare self-contained wand synthesizer designed by John Blacet of Blacet Research. From the 1978 promotional brochure: The Syn-Bow A Remarkable Personal Synthesizer The Syn-Bow's LSI Circuitry provides great sound and excellent expressive control in a tiny easy-to-assemble package. Hold it, wear it like a guitar or play it on a flat surface. The logical alternative to the profusion of keyboard synths. Check out the innovative features! ATTACK SENSOR - Controls waveshape, loudness, and duration for expressiveness unusual in any electronic instrument. PULSE WIDTH CONTROL and sweep for variable harmonic content. FREQUENCY MODULATION - For vibrato, etc. SUBOCTAVE Mix for dual VCO sound. NATURAL FILTER PATCH - Controlled via the ATTACK SENSOR and is responsible for the 'organic' quality of the Syn-Bow's sound. FREQUENCY BOW - 300 degrees and 36 inches of high resolution frequency control, 3-octave range. Play any scale or tuning, no keyboard or fret restrictions. Complete control of glide and bend. SOUND RANGE - Blown, bowed or plucked type sounds; i.e.: brass, strings, bass. COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT - 24 inches long by 2 inches wide. CONTROL VOLTAGE AND TRIGGER OUTPUTS for synchronous operation of external devices. 9V batteries of +/-15V operation. Redwood case. This unit is being checked out by my technician. So rare, even John Blacet doesn't have anything on it, or even an old one sitting around!
