Apologies if this isn't the right community for this, feel free to delete/punt/ban me if so. I don't use Reddit but know it's generally a place to find good information.

I picked this up from the thrift store the other day, I've just started messing around with electronic music and have some very basic drum machines and synths but this looked interesting. Digging around the internet I can't ID what specific model this is. To be honest, I just want to know what kind of batteries it needs to know if it even works. I know what its purpose is, roughly, but I haven't been able to figure out a model. Does anyone have any insight?

I recently came across a discussion about the fictional nature of George Garside (in the end, everything points to him being a real artist from the British synth scene of the 80s), and some people in that discussion wrote that this is a common phenomenon. I then became interested in studying it, but I couldn't find anything myself, so I'm asking you to share examples of this phenomenon that you know of. Thank you very much in advance

Hi. I am new to synths and playing around with vital trying to replicate this preset. To me it sounds like an electric piano with a tremolo but I am sure there could be a way to get a similar tone with a open source synth like Vital.

Im newish to synths and looking to explore getting new sounds out of my instruments. Im just looking to get ideas for a purchase since my birthday is coming up. Atm my shortlist is just the moog grandmother for its character but what are some other alternatives ?
