The instrument
Released in 1978, the Computer Band 2000 contains a ROM chip used for its built-in rhythm machine—it can store up to 14 patches, plus the preset sounds it already holds. Its synthesizer boasts four oscillators separated into four distinct sections each offering selectable instruments with individual decay settings and volume control capabilities, as well as auto-accompaniment functionality and an arpeggiator. The two-octave bass section synthesizer is especially impressive, as are the “chord” sections that feature different synthesized sounds including harp and banjo to electric piano and guitar.
