In the beginning of the 80's Kawai began manufacturing synthesizers under the company name of Teisco. Their early designs resulted in synths like the S110-F above. The Synthesizer 110-F is an upgraded S60-F, with dual analog VCO's and an updated look. It has a small but usable 37 note keyboard. Classic analog sawtooth, square, and triangle waveforms plus noise are on-board and can be mixed with external sounds run through the 110-F's filters and envelopes. The oscillators can be de-tuned for duophonic textures or phatter leads and bass sounds.

There's plenty of modulation ability and classic analog effects in the 110-F to really liven up the sound. There's an LFO which can modulate the VCO and VCF and can trigger the EGs. The VCF resonant low pass filter is great too. There's also a VCA section with Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release controls and finally there's a Hi-Pass filter. There is also a portamento effect, a ring modulator, vibrato and sample-and-hold for those classic analog synth effects and tricks! Lots of pretty blinking lights, a sleek and straight-forward layout and very nice analog bass, lead and synth sounds are all a part of the Synthesizer 110-F experience.

Isn't this the synth that is shown in a some of Hot Chip's videos? (Kinda funny, a band of machinists; too bad they don't seem to have a lot of talent).

Teisco 110F is better than MS-20, even if it isn't semi-modular. I owned both, still have the Teisco. Sample end Hold is amazing. Filter box is a nice extra. Pressure pads are absolutely fantastic.
Prices are over 1000 € now, just like the MS-20.

Great synth with ARP Odyssey like sounds.

I like my 110-f but it's not in the same league as the MS20 either in it's flexibility or raw sound. I've kept both but if people are paying more than £500 for a 110f then it might go soon.
