Built in 1975, the Synthi-E was one of the first traveling synthesizers (yes, you can carry a keyboard just fine, but the fact that it is in a briefcase already so beyond rocks, and in a strange way foreshadows all the laptop music of today). It was a low cost version of the Synthi-A designed for schools and colleges, the unit is easily transportable as it is housed in a small briefcase and is battery operated. I've never heard the sounds that this thing makes, but it looks one hell of a lot cooler than a laptop...way more bond! The VCS 3 (later the Synthi-A) was used extensively on The Dark Side of the Moon.

Thanks, for the mention and link, MatrixSynth!
