EMS VCS3 - Synthi Sequencer + Trautonium

The VCS3 is the original EMS portable semi-modular synthesizer unleashed upon the world in 1969.

The rare Synthi Sequencer 256 below is basically the sequencer section of the Synthi 100.

The Trautonium was invented in the 1930s by Oskar Sala in Germany. Its sounds can be heard in the classic Alfred Hitchcock horror film The Birds.
