The VCS 3 has three Oscillators, a Noise Generator, two Input Amplifiers, a Ring Modulator, a 24dB/octave Voltage Controlled Low Pass Filter (VCF), a Trapezoid Envelope Generator, Joy-Stick Controller, Voltage Controlled Spring Reverb unit and 2 Stereo Output Amplifiers. Unlike most modular Synthesiser systems which use cables to link components together, the VCS 3 uses a distinctive patch board matrix into which pins are inserted in order to connect its components together. The VCS 3 was quite popular among the Progressive Rock bands of the day and was used on recordings by Jean Michel Jarre , Hawkwind , Brian Eno (when he was with Roxy Music ), King Crimson , The Who , Gong , and Pink Floyd , among many others. A well-known example of its use is on The Who 's single '' Won't Get Fooled Again '' from '' Who's Next ''. The VCS 3, in spite of the fact that it is a Monophonic Synthesiser , underwent something of a Renaissance in the late 1990s and early 2000s, both in popularity and in price. Artists looking to evoke a quaint, synthesized sound began to make the VCS 3 popular, and thus, prices for the synthesiser reached as much as £3000—higher even than when they were first released. The VCS 3's basic design was reused by EMS in many other of their own products, most notably in the EMS Synthi 100 and the Synthi A (essentially a VCS 3 housed in a plastic briefcase). EXTERNAL LINKS
