It’s the 1970’s. Just the word ‘computer’ sends society into a fantasia of Kubrik-ian proportions. So it comes as no surprise that everything that could be even remotely identified as being a computer would have the term tacked on the product. Enter this mystery:
Baldwin Microcomputer Orchestra
The pictures are nice, but the enigma remains…
It has a preset called … wait for it… Fantomfingers!
Via this AUCTION P.U.O. in Scottsdale, AZ (whaaa? Another Arizona Organ!?!?)
Nice blog! Classic stuff. I just bought my second Baldwin Orgasonic. . nice features. I’m probably gonna
cut it down so I can put it in the back seat for road-gigs. Have you ever come across a Benjamin Organ? The one I had was similar to a small Kimball, rainbow colored toggle switches and a very simple drum machine.
Great sound though! especially through a wah. Another one I like is the early 70’s lowreys, they have green button that turns the expression pedal into a Wow-Wow.
YEAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Thanks for the comment, Dan! You’re the first one to have anything to say that didn’t involve a sale! Congratulations!
I haven’t come a across a Benjamin YET, but gimme a few weeks and I’m sure one will appear.
I’m in the process of chopping AND re-casing my Kawai in ACRYLIC. Wish me luck!
Where can I get manuals on this type of organ (piano). We have one exactly like the picture above. We also want any type of music books related to the above.
In case this might be of interest to anyone:

I love synthesizers and in my humble opinion organs were the firt synthesizers
