The Novachord was actually the world's first subtractive polyphonic synthesizer, with 1069 built between 1939 and 1942. I am the very owner of probably the only surviving example in the UK. I would dearly like to see the whole of the Novachord demo as it's extremely rare to see such intimate vintage footage of this amazing instrument.
