Following on the heels of the FAST organs, the VIP line was introduced around 1970, and was available as 1978.
Slalom and Syntheslalom are the notable features of the VIP series.  Slalom is a pedal that provides for changing the overall pitch of the organ in real time.  The range of the pedal is a full octave downward.  Syntheslalom is an automated pitch bend.  When switched on, the pitch of any key pressed starts at some point below the correct note for that key, then glides upward until it hits the correct pitch. The Range adjustment determines how far down the pitch starts, up to a full octave below the "correct" note. The Timer adjustment determines the length of time the note takes to reach the correct pitch. The Syntheslalom can be combined with Percussion, Repeat and Vibrato.  

The VIP 233 has two 49-note manuals.  The upper manual has a selection of three voices (Flutes, Clarinets and Percussion), each in 4 ranks (16', 8', 5-1/3', 4'). The Clarinet voices are not found on any of the other VIP drawbar organs. The lower manual features a whopping two voices (both 8'), but does provide a 17-key manual bass section with two voices and selectable attack.
