Tom yes It was a very kool Kb way ahead of its time.....the sliders were nice also.
I would play it with a yamaha CS01 on top for manual bass.

I remember those. Weren't they generally known as "knocker boxes"?

My first arranger keyboard was a Lowrey Genius Model G 80. It came with bolt on legs, a music stand and a cord to plug it in.
It had 61 keys and 10 onboard voices. It didn't have much poly and I believe it was mono although It had both a L and R outlets and I ran both through a pair of amps they offered as accessories. The amps are 35 amp with a 3 band eq and were built by Japanese Victor Corp. I still have this setup in here somewhere and it still works.
The styles and rhythms were in a box about the size of an 8 track cartridge and plugged into the top of the keyboard. they had their own micro processor in them. Each one had 4 or 5 styles, and for their day they were really good.
this unit had a fx bar which was used as a fill in bar at any time by holding it with your thumb or just touching it for one break.
I think I paid 2600.00 for the keyboard and the two amps were 300.00 each.
I am open to offers if anybody is starting a museum.

Yet, the first rhythm machine was the Rhythmicon created during 1930 by Lev Thermen.
