Products

  • The ElectroComp 101 - a portable, "suitcase" synthesizer which borrows the semi-modular configuration of the ARP 2600.
  • The ElectroComp 200 - a 2-VCO "expansion" module, similar to the SEM modules offered by Oberheim in the early 1970s.
  • The ElectroComp 400 Sequencer & 401 Synthesizer - another portable synthesizer with sophisticated sequencer. Commonly considered to be an imitation of ARP's Sequencer, but in fact, EML offered their sequencer before ARP's.
  • The ElectroComp 500 - Followed a trend among musicians and manufacturers towards more portable, "performance" synthesizers. Was essentially a slimmed-down 101 with only 2 VCO's and sliders instead of patch points. Competed directly with the MiniMoog and the ARP Odyssey, although it was more similar in design to the Odyssey than the Mini.
  • The PolyBox - a small module designed to add polyphony to monophonic analog synthesizers. They came in black or orange and featured a 13-key keyboard. Only around 150 were made.
  • The SynKey - one of EML's last products. Unique in its storage of patches on plastic punch-cards. Released in both programmable and non-programmable versions.

Synthesizer modules were also available, giving musicians the ability to build their own modular synthesizers at a lower cost than a Moog, EMS, or ARP.

Famous quotes containing the word products:

    “Isn’t it odd that networks accept billions of dollars from advertisers to teach people to use products and then proclaim that children aren’t learning about violence from their steady diet of it on television!”
    —Toni Liebman (20th century)

    “It seemed there was a sort of poisoning, an auto-infection of the organisms, so Dr. Krokowski said; it was caused by the disintegration of a substance ... and the products of this disintegration operated like an intoxicant upon the nerve-centres of the spinal cord, with an effect similar to that of certain poisons, such as morphia, or cocaine.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    “We are the products of editing, rather than of authorship.”
    —George Wald (b. 1906)
