EH had a thing called a Microsynth, that was cool.

There was a UK thing called the Wasp that was great, they are worth a small fortune now.  I built a Wasp filter clonge for my modular.

The Gnome was like like a Stylophone synth. When I built mine and it turned out the instructions were wrong . It wasn't fun by the time I got it working..

  PAIA made a similar one in the mid '70's called the Gnome.  Somewhere I have one I assembled from a kit.  All analog, unstable as hell, many calibration pots inside, therefore a real pain to tune.  Fun anyway.

Before you go out and get a cheap Korg Monotron ribbon thingy...Watch this:

Maybe if it had CV output it might be a cheap / useful ribbon controller, but as it is it's kind of useless isn't it?

What's twice as useless as a Monotron? Two of them.
