The SLM badged version looks identical except for the name:





ELO live in concert, Dec 1981 (Time tour). The concert spectrum is to be seen in Tandy's rig sitting
on top of his Wurly (the OB-Xa is to the right of Tandy, out of view in this shot). The other keyboard player
uses a Polymoog and Crumar perfomer and there's even a third keyboardist playing a VP-330.

That's quite the handlebar!

Thanks for all the info on the Crumar Performer guys...I appreciate it!!!
The seller flaked out at the last minute, it was a big p.o.s. to boot!!!

I got a tip on this synth instead...


It's a Korg Poly Ensemble PE-1000.
Came with complete case, and foot pedal.
I bought it in a package deal with 3 other synths/keyboards.
If you knew what I paid, and the other gear I got with it, well...heh never mind that...

Anyways, it has a few minor issues,..
One dead black key
Scratchy pots & buttons
And a burned out power lamp

Other than that it plays very very nice.
It's a beautiful sounding strings/brass synth!!!

Anyone else have one?
How do you like yours

Edit: Well, turned out the dead black key was just a broken solder connection, fixed it in 5 minutes!

Here's a crappy demo of what it sounds like with the expression pedal...
