A 300 is NOT half of a 600. It is remotely operated
with NO keyboard. The sounds are from the right side
of a 600. This same remote with TWO station selectors
and the sounds from the LEFT side of a 600 is a 350
and they are a NIGHTMARE to keep working. Just ask Jim
Blair.

100- Drum tapes. 3/8ths tapes. 3tracks.

200- 1/4 in. tape. Single track. Multistation like a
MKII.

300- 3/8ths tape, 3 tracks, multistation. Remote
operated and looks like a cloth's hamper.

350- same as 300 but TWO multistation selector systems
with left side 600 sounds.

M-1- One keyboard. Tabletop. 8 trk tape. Stereo
outputs. NO multistation.

M-2- Same, but with two keyboards

M-4- Same, but with 4 keyboards.

Riviera- Same but in and organ style cabinet to the
floor, built in amps, 4 keyboards AND a foot operated
tape unit.
