One of the first commercially available polyphonic synthesizers, Oberheim's Two-voice TVS-1, Four-voice FVS-1 in 1975, and Eight-voice in 1977,which was the four voice frame with an external 4 SEM module, configurations were based on the SEM. The Two-voice synthesizer included a two channel voltage controlled sequencer, and the Four-voice and Eight-voice machines included a rudimentary Programmer, capable of recalling sound settings.
The video below is of Rush playing Tom Sawyer, if you skip to the last ten seconds or so you can see what I think is the early Oberheim Synth.
If you like the sound of rush and this particular synth, here is a link

to a VST plugin that replicates the sounds made. I don't know if it works or not, but it's totally worth a shot.
