Did the Mark I/II include the Tango as a backing
track? I have my reasons for asking.

No, nor lurching around the dance floor.

Check out this eBay MiniMoog auction - note the white (FX Console? Mk II?
Mk I?) missing a cheekblock behind the main photo and another one. Anybody
know this owner?

I see that they are not selling the tron as well, but
what about the tango?

Frank appears to be correct. I hate that!
Fortunately, it doesn't happen often. (ha)

You want some excitement?
Let's discuss Watcher of the Skies again!
My mother used to say WOTS sounded like a somber out of tune funeral
dirge. Good grief she was right on!

Have to watch this, replying to myself now, checked
m-tron which has 7 backing tracks one of which sounds
vaguely South American but not I think a tango. I
belive m-tron was sampled from a Mark II but I think
there were more than 7 backing tracks so:

How may keys on the left manual, how many stations?
And presumably there were 3 tracks at each station.

The backing tracks on m-tron don't cover all the 35
keys, they are quite well synchronised, it is possible
to play chords.

Was it possible to play in a minor key?

Mark

PS Did they include the TANGO?!
