OBERHEIM SYNTH

It's an arppegiator but will do a lot of other stuff.  It can make a 
MIDI keyboard work like the modern ones that you can hold down one key 
and it plays the bass and an accompaniment.

It is very tough to program as you only have TWO characters in the 
window.  You have to have the manual to know what the two characters 
stand for.

I had one and found it too challenging and time consuming to use.  A 
serious music geek with lots of spare time could make it do a lot of 
interesting stuff!

I think Oberheim hired one of the guys from Sequential Circuits and he 
or they designed the series that was the PROformance-I believe it was 
called.  This is only my theory.  The boxes had a lot of SC ideas in 
them.

FWIW
