Firstman SQ-01 Multivox SQ-01 analogue synth Roland TB-303 precursor- with Pedal Control - RARE

Note: I will add a better picture in the coming days! sorry for the awful quality!!!

DESCRIPTION:

Rare (especially with foot controller) bass line synthesizer and sequencer. The Multivox / Firstman SQ-01 is an analogue monophonic 'bassline' synth with onboard sequencer that is programmed akin to the TB-303, and along the same lines as a Moog Taurus.

Made between 1980 and 81. Looks great for its age - and, more importantly - it sounds unique. Check out the great sounds on the youtube video (not us).

From ad:

"Multivox Sequencer. The SQ-01 Mini Music Lab is a monophonic synthesizer and sequencer. It operates on either AC current or batteries. It will record up to 1024 notes on 16 channels, combine time values, program glides, program triple and duple meters, and play back with from 30-300 quarter-note beats per minutes with sixteenth-note subdivisions. The synthesizer portion of the unit has a seven-octave range, a 24db/octave filter, and an envelope selection system. Rear panel jacks offer interface possibilities, syncing to other sequencers or clocks, or other synthesizer control. An optional bass pedal controller, the BS-01, is also available. Multivox/Sorkin Music, 370 Motor Parkway, Hauppauge, NY 11787."
