[@rasterraster1728]

here is my question about the mixer 103: is it used that much? is it the least important part of the set?

[@RobertSaintJohn]

I actually use it more than the 104 sequencer, but the mixer is more replaceable by so much other gear. 4 channel mixer with spring reverb and mix controls for an external echo unit like the RE-101 or 150. Compared to the others, it the least important. Well, other than the 109 speakers, which I’ve never been able to bring myself to pay $400+ each for.

[@EBMZEQUENZER]

All this for one voice or more?

[@RobertSaintJohn]

Yes, it's a monophonic synthesizer from 1975. The unit with the keyboard is the Synthesizer 101. Behind it is the 102 Expander. Each has one VCO and one LFO, and functions like Ring Mod, S&H, and Noise are split between them. Technically, these two alone make up the expanded synthesizer, but the 101 can be played on its own. On the left is the 103 Mixer with spring reverb. On the right (not demonstrated) is the 104 Sequencer.
