We’re rather smitten with these - a ‘70s Japanese analogue beatbox with touch-strip control and warm, woody rhythms. Rare, funky, and full of vintage vibe.

Uncommon analogue preset rhythm box from Japan’s National/Panasonic, the SY-50 offers a choice of classic warm and woody rhythm patterns featuring characterful lo-fi percussion sounds straight from the early 70s. A true vintage analogue beat box, ideal for jamming, sampling - sounds great through effects.

Features a cool touch stop/start strip and of course the classic ability to combine multiple rhythms by pressing multiple buttons art once. A hidden gem that’s equally at home with dub, synthwave, lo-fi, or leftfield electronic producers and guitarists or singer songwriters, the SY-50 combines vintage charm with ease of use.

Runs on standard 100V Japanese voltage (transformer required for use elsewhere).

Hard to find in any condition and this is a solid, serviced example ready for studio or home use.
