GEM TURBO S2 VINTAGE keyboard synthesiser music processor.

All working fine.

The S2 was (is) a very capable synth, workstation and keyboard. With each voice having two oscillators (each one accessing hundreds of multi-sampled waveforms), two filters, several multi-stage envelopes, an LFO and a lot more besides, this was actually quite a serious synth. In keeping with its workstation status, it also had a 250,000 event sequencer and dual multi-effects - it also had one of the best, most comprehensively programmable keyboards available in a product of this nature making it an ideal master keyboard with functionality that rivalled (or even exceeded!) many dedicated master keyboards. It was also possible to load Akai S1000 samples (via the separate - and optional - Sample Translator software) from the floppy disk drive into its modest (2Mb) complement of on-board RAM to integrate in the factory sample set. The S2 also had eight dedicated sliders which could be used to set volume, attack, release, filter 1, filter 2 and pan position making the S2 ideal for quick tweaking live or in the studio. Uniquely, however, in the special 'organ' mode, these same sliders could also be used as drawbars. GEM also made the S3 which had a 76-note keyboard.
