It consisted of small self contained bakelite boxes housing everything from VCOs & filters to multiples & envelope generators. These were all battery powered (9V DC).
Aimed at the school market they were sold with a teacher's manual.
They are regularly described as a "poor man's" ARP 2600/Odyssey because many of these circuits were found in those synths.
These modules are extremely rare today.
My collection includes:
The MSL keyboard
Speaker/Amp (Model 1511)
Multiple Box (Model 1510)
ADSR Envelope Generator (Model 1501)
VCA (module 1509)
VCO (modules 1504) x3
The mixer/atenuator (Module 1508)
Noise(module 1503)
sample-and-hold (module 1507)
Ring Modulator (Module 1505)
I'm missing the filter.:-(
More pics:
The sliders are pretty stiff. Needs cleaning and lubrication as with much of my old ARP gear.
I'm on the hunt for the MSL teacher's manual and the filter. If you come across either please contact me.

I can Make you a filter to go with the set.
ReplyDeleteHello, Thanks for your message.
ReplyDeleteI already have found the filter in a second MSL system I have. (It didn't have the bakelite box)
If you ever do come across a vintage MSL filter please let me know. Kind regards J
Jon, I may have the manual. I would need to send you a photo of what I have to see if it's what you are looking for. K
