Suitcase analog synth . . . kind of

It is analog, and it did come with a "suitcase." One of the weird early preset only synths, sounds great. Wonderful, sad lofi sounds and a sustain switch to greatly extendnthe decay of notes. 8 note polyphony, built-in speaker and aux out. Weighs under 3 pounds and battery operated making it very portable.
