Lamba Answer

The Lamba is a 1979 vintage Korg polyphonic synthesizer, officially model number ES-50.  Because it was built in 1979 and because it is pro gear, not a home model, there are no speakers.  Funkysaurus Tom brought this one home from an auction for $5 and passed it along to Singosaurus Duck.  Why only $5?  Because the people at the auction thought is was BROKEN because no sound came out when they turned it on…

Duh!

Thanks, Tom!  We’re actually having a lot of fun with it.  A few minor tweaks and Duck can get some cool sounds… or at least really close.  A Farfisa combo, a Vox Continental, a Hohner Clavinet…

No MIDI but some great vintage analog stuff.  Thanks to James at Carbon111.com, I even have a manual and schematics.  Carbon111.com by the way is a really cool sight for keyboard freaks.   For more info about the Lambda, including some sound samples visit http://www.carbon111.com/lambda.html
