Guess the synth (photo inside)

Hooray! Thanks for that Micke, good one. I've not heard of the band before. Pete Forrests's A-Z has some interesting users of the Davolisint - including Sweet and Caravan. There's an informative article about it in Sound On Sound too.

Rather than starting a new thread, I thought I'd tack this photo up as well. Hope you don't mind Micke



This is is for sale locally, and the guy said

Full size keyboard with excellent craftmanship ~ 24 keys
Has ALL the bells and whisels
Lights up as U play ~ Comes with the black leather carrying case with Rollers on bottom for EZ traveling ~ Brand new black leather straps ~

It's obviously 37 keys. I haven't seen anything like this. Is that a disk drive to the lower left?

Did you find anything more about this? Can't say I recognise it at all.

Hey,

Thanks WT. I've found little to nothing on it with google. There is a sentence about it reading:

The OMB-5 is a digital and programmable "One Man Band" with basically the same drum specifications as the DR-80, with the addition of:

* 37 note keyboard
* auto bass and chords
* FM quality sound generation.
