This is the original 1990's VHS tape rip of the short-lived Museum of Synthesizer Technology. Some info: UK-produced video made in the 1990s based around the Museum of Synthesizer Technology. "The original movie spotlights some of the museum's star turns including Moog System 3, Buchla System 3, ARP 2600, EMS Synthi 100, Yamaha CS80, Roland VP-330, Moog MemoryMoog, PPG Wave 2.3, Wasp, and Elka Synthex. The later footage also explores Polyfusion, Roland System 700, and others. If you're a geek you'll be in (analog) heaven for sure. The film quality may not be up to the glossy original but the instruments and their various aficionado demonstrators remain as colorful and nuttily fanatic as ever. The Museum Of Synthesizer Technology would itself go the way of the dodo not long after the making of this program." https://hauntedvault.com https://instagram.com/hauntedvault https://facebook.com/hauntedvault
