Synthesizer

• ElectroComp 100

  The EML ElectroComp 100 is a rare early-1970s semi-modular analog synthesizer with four oscillators and duophonic capability, built with op-amp circuitry for superior stability.

• ElectroComp 101

  The EML ElectroComp 101 is a patchable semi-modular analog synthesizer featuring four oscillators and duophonic capability, manufactured by Electronic Music Laboratories from 1972 to 1982. It uses an ARP 2600-style pre-wired voice path overridable with quarter-inch patch cords, housed in a portable wooden enclosure. Its op-amp-based circuitry provided superior tuning stability compared to transistor-based competitors from Moog and ARP.

• ElectroComp 200

  A monophonic analog synthesizer module from Electronic Music Laboratories featuring dual oscillators, extensive patch points, and built-in spring reverb, originally designed for educational institutions.

• ElectroComp 400/401

  The EML ElectroComp 400/401 is a rare semi-modular analog synthesizer and sequencer combination produced from 1970 to 1984. The 401 synthesizer pairs with the 400 sequencer unit, featuring dual VCOs, a multimode resonant filter, and sophisticated analog sequencing with microtonal tuning support. Approximately 300 units were manufactured, making it a genuinely rare vintage instrument.

• ElectroComp 500

  The EML Electrocomp 500 is a monophonic analog synthesizer created as a response to the compact performance synthesizer trend established by the Minimoog and ARP Odyssey. It features dual VCOs, a multimode resonant filter, and a hard-wired design with sliders and switches for accessible parameter control. Notably used by DEVO for their distinctive "Whip It" sound, it produces a uniquely different tone compared to ARP and Moog instruments due to its op-amp-based design.

• Poly-Box

  The EML Poly-Box is a unique pitch-following variable chord generator that creates polyphony from monophonic synthesizers, using programmable chord memory presets controlled via CV/Gate.

• SynKey

  The SynKey is a classic monophonic analog synthesizer featuring 13 square-wave oscillators and an innovative punch-card program memory system. Its "Second Touch" keyboard feature provides aftertouch-like control over filter sweeps, vibrato, and pitch bends.
