Stereo Syntorchestra
'70s multi-keyboard

Used (and still being used!!!) by great Klaus Schulze and Ashra Tempel, this is a keyboard that was in vogue during the classic Progressive genres of the '70s.  The piano sound is incredibly good (in an analog way), and so are the solo voices, especially with the addition of wha wha and portamento effects.
