Correct.  As I understand it, George designed the guitar controller and
EML designed the electronics.  The Syntar electronics became the
core of the Syn-Key.

George Mattson is subscribed to the Analog Heaven mailing list
and has posted several articles containing great detail about the 
Syntar.
And he's quite happy to answer questions about it.  You might
want to start by going back to the AH archives at:

He still has some Syntar hardware bits, and within the last year he
has assembled a Syntar from NOS parts and offered it for sale.
